[The quality of life after cholecystectomy]
Abstract:
The quality of life (QOL) of three groups of patients who had undergone the routine cholecystectomy (RCE), laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCE), or cholecystectomy using the minilaparatomy approach (MCE). QOL was assessed using the standard SF-36 questionnaire and on selected criteria. The postoperative complications rate after any version of cholecystectomy did not exceed the average rate in other studies. Patients with a history of LCE and MCE, returned to their normal social and intellectual activity faster; they reported higher perception and judgment on the state of their health and well-being, which in turn suggests the higher quality of life. Patients after RCE reported worse results due to a longer recovery period.
