What this trial studies

This observational study follows adults undergoing partial or radical nephrectomy to track recovery, quality of life, and physical function before and after surgery. It aims to validate the QoR-15 questionnaire within a urological patient group and to see if QoR-15 can differentiate recovery experiences across patient subgroups. No interventions are given beyond standard care, and data are collected through patient-reported outcomes. Participation is limited to Danish-speaking adults scheduled for nephrectomy, excluding emergency cases and those unable to complete the questionnaire.
