What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Local recurrence

    Local recurrance will be evaluated with CT after 6 months, a year, then annually - up to 5 years after the treatment

    Time frame: 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Metastatic progression

    Presence of metastases will be evaluated with CT after 6 months, a year, then annually - up to 5 years after the treatment

    Time frame: 5 years

  2. Quality of life assessment: The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ C-30)

    Quality of life will be assessed using scales EORTC QLQ C-30, ranging from 1 to 100, where higher score indicating a better Quality of Life

    Time frame: 5 years

  3. Renal function

    Renal function will be evaluated with eGFR

    Time frame: 5 years

  4. Rate of adverse events

    Rate of intra- and postoperative adverse events will be assessed according to Clavien-Dindo grade system

    Time frame: 3 months

  5. Blood loss

    Pre- and postoperative Hb level

    Time frame: 12 months

  6. Length of hospital stay

    Number of days spent in hospital

    Time frame: 1 month

  7. Pain score

    Pain score will be assessed using visual analogue scale

    Time frame: 5 years
