However, this treatment is associated with detrimental effects on patient well-being and quality of life. The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcomes and related Quality of Life (QoL) of patients who underwent single stoma ureterocutaneostomy (SS-UCS) or intracorporeal ileal conduit (IC) after minimally invasive RC using a validated questionnaire related to the quality of life of ostomate patients. METHODS: In addition to postoperative outcomes, QoL was assessed, at 3 and 6 months, using a specific questionnaire to assess the quality of life among ostomates (Stoma-QoL), which is designed to assess quality of life in relation to stoma management in the daily routine. It represents a valid and easy to fill test, able to provide a general overview of the patient's quality of life. RESULTS: The study was conducted on 78 elderly patients who underwent, from May 2016 to March 2020, Laparoscopic or Robot-Assisted RC with subsequent SS-UCS (41 patients) and intracorporeal IC (37 patients). Two homogeneous groups were obtained at preoperative evaluation. The post-operative assessment of QoL using the Stoma-QoL questionnaire showed, 3 months after surgical procedure, an average score of 52.2 (95% CI: 49.4-55.0; ES: 1.61) in the IC group, comparable to score 52.4 ( 95% CI: 50.3-54.5; ES: 1.62) obtained in SS-UCS group. Even at 6 months, the values obtained are statistically homogeneous between the two groups, with an average score of 63.4 (95% CI: 59.2-67.6; ES: 1.84) and 63.6 (95% CI: 61.3-65.9; ES: 1.-82) respectively between IC group and UCS-SS. better postoperative results were obtained in the group with a single stoma according to operative time, blood loss, hospital of stay, perioperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: In elderly patients, a single stoma uretero-cutaneostomy after minimally invasive RC represents a valid alternative to the commonly used IC diversion with better perioperative outcomes and without compromising the postoperative QoL.
