INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to estimate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following modified ureterosigmoidostomy (Mainz Pouch II) urinary diversion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March 1995 and February 2003 the procedure was performed in 83 patients (67 male and 16 female, median age 62 years, range 2-78 years) at the Departments of Urology in Bonn, Germany, and Pesaro, Italy. Patients were asked during follow-up to complete a validated, cancer-specific quality of life questionnaire, namely the EORTC QLQ C-30 Version 3. Forty-one patients (29 male, 12 female) completed the QLQ C-30. Twenty-eight patients were dead at the time of the study and 14 patients were lost to follow-up. A non-validated questionnaire was answered by 31 patients (75%) of the Bonn series to determine specific urinary diversion items. Mean follow-up time was 24.4 months (6 to 84 months). RESULTS: No statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in functional and symptom scales or global health status were detected between males and females. All scales but diarrhea showed good results and the outcome was comparable to health-related quality of life in a reference population of Germany. Continence rate was 100% at daytime; all but one patient had to get up for urination at night. About one third of the patients have to urinate more than six times during the day and more than three times during the night. Sixty-three percent of the patients in the Bonn series were able to distinguish between stool and urine. CONCLUSION: The Mainz Pouch II serves as a satisfying continent urinary diversion for both sexes in selected patients in terms of quality of life. Patients seem to adapt to their "individual" form of urinary diversion. In terms of continence modified ureterosigmoidostomy can lead to daytime continence rate of 100%. The relatively high voiding frequency during night-time was not felt to be disturbing by the patients and demonstrates the adaptability of the patients. |
