ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the quality of life associated with the surgical technique in postoperative patients with urethral plasty. Methods: 29 patients operated between January-2011 and December-2015 were studied. The questionnaires Euroqol 5-D and International Prostate Symptom Score were applied to measure quality of life and detect relapses, respectively. Descriptive statistics was performed, cumulative incidence, relative risk and attributable fraction were calculated. Results: the incidence of relapse detected by the International Prostate Symptom Score was 69% (p = 0.011); the relative risk was 2.19 (95% confidence interval: 2.092-2.288). The fraction attributable to the exposure was 54%. The quality of life was associated with the length of the lesion (p = 0.046), low urinary symptoms (p = 0.004) and the individual perception of the state of health (p = 0.003). The location of the lesion was associated with relapse (p = 0.008). Quality of life was not associated with type of plasty (p › 0.05). Conclusions: The incidence of postoperative recurrence is high. The quality of life is independent of the surgical technique, but it is associated with the length of the lesion and urinary symptoms.
