Assessment of the Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy with Urinary Diversion
Published on: 24th June, 2026
Radical cystectomy with urinary diversion is the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The impact of the type of urinary diversion on quality of life (QoL) remains debated. This cross-sectional study assessed QoL in 57 patients who underwent radical cystectomy between 2014 and 2022 at two urology departments in Rabat, Morocco, using the Bladder Cancer Index (BCI), the SF-36, and the Body Image Scale (BIS). Multiple linear regression identified socioeconomic status, body image perception, urinary discomfort, and comorbidities as the main determinants of QoL, with the type of urinary diversion playing an indirect role mediated through these factors. These findings underscore the need for a multidimensional approach when evaluating and optimizing QoL outcomes after radical cystectomy.
