The objective of this study was to examine the use of granisetron in actual clinical practice and to compare effect of dose of 1 mg granisetron after total cystectomy plus ileal conduit with group of patients which received metoclopramide. Granisetron established total control of PONV in 93,33% patients. Granisetron is 40% more effective in PONV control than metoclopramide. Only minimal nausea episodes were observed in early postoperative period in patients who had received low dose of granisetron (1 mg i.v.). .

Purpose: To investigate the quality of life (QoL) in patients with end-stage renal disease who underwent open or robot-assisted renal transplantation (ORT and RART). Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent ORT and RART at Bakirkoy Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital between June 2016 and December 2018 constituted the target population of this study. The patient group was divided into two groups as per the surgical technique (i.e., open vs. robot-assisted). Demographic data, preoperative and postoperative data of all patients were collected prospectively. The QoL of the patients was assessed preoperatively and on the postoperative 30th day. Results: 67 patients who underwent ORT and 60 patients who underwent RART were included. The mean patient age and BMI were calculated as 40,9 ± 11,6 years and 24,4 ± 2,9 kg/m2, respectively. While mean total ischemia time was shorter in the ‘open’ group, incision length, duration of surgical drainage and hospital stay were shorter in the ‘robot-assisted’ group. The physical component scores of the QoL questionnaire revealed that postoperative impairment of quality of life was more significant in the ORT than the RART. Conclusion: Patients who underwent RART have a higher QoL than the patients who were treated with ORT as per their self-reported QoL scores in the early postoperative period.
