Considerable progress has been made in the management of advanced and recurrent pelvic cancer over the last few decades. However, much emphasis has been placed on surgical and hospital-related outcomes. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on patient quality-of-life following major abdominopelvic surgery. However, there is a lack of updated evidence on how patients manage and perceive their stomas. Managing a stoma is a difficult task for patients and can adversely effect their quality-of-life. This study will investigate specifically the impact of managing a urostomy or ileal conduit. Patients will be contacted via an anonymized, opt-in SMS or email to answer a questionnaire, having previously been provided with a patient information leaflet. This will take approximately 5 minutes to complete and will be carried out just prior to and at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-operatively. All of this data will be collated and published as part of a wider investigation in to patient quality-of-life following major abdominal and pelvic surgery. This study will be carried out in 35 countries.
