Objective. To evaluate health-related quality of life in patients after a
short-stay or outpatient urethroplasty. Methods. Over a 2-year period a validated
health-related quality-of-life questionnaire, EuroQol (EQ-5D), was administered
to all patients after urethroplasty. Postoperatively patients were offered to be
sent home immediately or to stay overnight. Within 24 hours after discharge they
were assessed for mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and
anxiety and depression. An additional question assessing timing of discharge was
added to the survey. Clinical and operative characteristics were examined.
Results. Forty-eight patients after anterior urethroplasty completed the survey.
Mean age and mean stricture length were 51.6 years (21-78) and 60?mm (5-200?mm),
respectively. Most etiologies were idiopathic (50% n = 24), trauma (19%, n = 9),
and iatrogenic (19%, n = 9). Forty-one patients (85%) stayed overnight, while 7
patients (15%) chose to be discharged the same day. Overall, ninety-six percent
were discharged within 23 hours of surgery. In the short-stay and the outpatient
cohorts, 90% and 86%, respectively, felt they were discharged on time. No patient
reported a severe problem with postoperative pain or mobility. Conclusions. The
majority of patients discharged soon after their procedure felt that discharge
timing was appropriate and their health-related quality of life was only
minimally affected.
