Abstract
In the study using the questionnaire EORTC-QLQ C30 there was done a comparative analysis of the quality of life of 35 patients with renal cancer (stage T1-2N0M0) who underwent organ-preserving surgery or open access radical nephrectomy. The initial parameters of quality of life of patients with kidney cancer were higher under organ-preserving surgery; important advantages covered general health status, role and social functions, fatigue and reduced appetite and sleep disorders. In the postoperative period in patients after organ-preserving surgery there remained higher general health status, physical and emotional functions, while the use of open access lowered the quality of life in both groups in functional scales due to the severity of pain and the reduction of social functions. The widespread introduction of endoscopic organ-preserving surgery for kidney cancer can improve the quality of life and contributes to rapid rehabilitation.
