Conditions
Summary
This study will examine the work status of all adult patients admitted over a 6-month period to the University Hospital in Kraków, Poland, for treatment of urological diseases. All admitted patients will be surveyed about their job situation. Patients who are occupationally active and undergoing major oncological surgeries (such as radical cystectomy, prostatectomy, or nephrectomy) or procedures for urinary tract stones will also complete a quality-of-life questionnaire and be followed up by phone at 3 and 6 months. The goal is to learn how treatment affects patients' ability to return to work and their well-being, to help guide support and rehabilitation strategies.
