Abstract
Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a treatment of choice for symptomatic cholelithiasis. LC is one of the most commonly done operations in our country. Patient-reported quality of life is an important outcome measure following all medical and surgical interventions. However, there are only a few papers available addressing quality of life-issues following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Hence, we conducted a study to compare the quality of life to compare before and after LC.
Methods: This is a longitudinal study. Patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy during the study period were included. Gastrointestinal quality of life (GIQLI) was measured before and six months after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Result: Seventy-two patients, 11 (15.28 %) males and 61 (84.72 %) females were included in the study. The mean age was 44.97 years and the mean duration of symptoms was found to be 5.20 months. No complications were recorded. There was a statistical increase in the mean total GIQLI before and after LC (111.625 Vs 133, p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: There was a significant increase in GIQLI after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in symptomatic patients.
