Article Synopsis
  • This study assesses the quality of life (QoL) of 26 patients who underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction, with an average follow-up of 7.5 years.
  • The assessment involved the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire and a custom questionnaire focused on health-related QoL post-surgery.
  • Results showed 96% patient satisfaction, with all but one patient content with treatment outcomes; the sole dissatisfaction was linked to ongoing pain, which did not significantly impact QoL for most patients.
