We report longitudinal QoL outcomes in RCC for the first time. Vision commonly improves with surgery, but endocrinopathy is likely to persist. Microvascular risk-factors may compromise visual improvement. Surgery causes a transient worsening of sinonasal symptoms that resolves within 3-6 weeks, but patients may not experience significant improvement in QoL within the first postoperative year.
