The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of chronic postoperative pain, pain\u2010related functional impairment, and incisional hernias and to evaluate the gastrointestinal quality of life after emergency laparotomy due to small bowel obstruction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study was a questionnaire study, conducted at a major gastrointestinal\u2010surgery department in a single tertiary university hospital in Denmark. Patients who had been through emergency laparotomy due to small bowel obstruction were included in the study. The extent of acute and chronic postoperative pain and the prevalence of incisional hernias were examined with specially designed questionnaires, while the pain quality was assed by the self\u2010report version of the S\u2010LANSS\u2010questionnaire. Pain\u2010related functional impairment and quality of life were measured using the AAS and the GIQLI questionnaire, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 90 patients returned the questionnaire (response rate 82 %). Nineteen patients (21 %) suffered from chronic postoperative pain. Seventeen patients (19 %) had pain\u2010related functional impairment as a result of the surgery, and 17 patients (19 %) had an incisional hernia at follow\u2010up.
