We evaluated postoperative quality of life (QOL) after laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) by using the Euro\u2010QOL 5 dimension (EQ\u20105D) score and analyzed its relationship to surgical factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Between 2014 and 2016, 541 patients underwent LM at our institution. We included 86 patients in the final analysis (16% response rate) who replied to the EQ\u20105D questionnaire, in order to investigate postoperative QOL. We evaluated patients\u2019 EQ\u20105D score before the operation and on the 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th postoperative day (POD). We investigated the degree of correlation between the EQ\u20105D score and four surgical characteristics (operation time, intraoperative bleeding, number of resected myomas and weight of specimen). We examined correlation between EQ\u20105D scores and chief complaints such as hypermenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, other pain, myoma enlargement, palpable tumor and desire for childbearing. We also examined correlation between EQ\u20105D scores and other factors such as patient's age, infertility, history of abdominal surgery, marriage and body mass index.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Full recovery, defined as an EQ\u20105D score of 1.0, was reported 2.3% of patients by POD3, 18.6% by POD7, 58.1% by POD14, 73.3% by POD21 and 86.0% by POD28.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Longer duration of operation correlated weakly with poor recovery on POD3. Intraoperative bleeding, number of resected myomas and weight of the specimen did not significantly influence EQ\u20105D score. There was no correlation between chief complaints or other factors mentioned above and EQ\u20105D score.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>More than a half of the patients undergoing LM included in our study reported full recovery of QOL after 2\u2009weeks. The time to recover QOL was slightly influenced by the operation time. However, when LM was finished without any complications, postoperative QOL eventually seemed to improve regardless of the surgical characteristics such as operation time, intraoperative bleeding, number of resected myomas and weight of specimen.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jog.13808","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,26]],"date-time":"2018-09-26T01:20:48Z","timestamp":1537924848000},"page":"176-181","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Recovery of quality of life after laparoscopic myomectomy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Yoko","family":"Tsuzuki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Teine Keijinkai Hospital  Sapporo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shinya","family":"Tsuzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hygiene Hokkaido University  Sapporo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shinichiro","family":"Wada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Teine Keijinkai Hospital  Sapporo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshiyuki","family":"Fukushi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Teine Keijinkai Hospital  Sapporo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takafumi","family":"Fujino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Teine Keijinkai Hospital  Sapporo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2003.99"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e318207854f"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-009-1187-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4293\/108680813X13693422521557"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4091\/iken1991.9.3_83"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9378(96)70445-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmig.2005.11.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/01.ane.0000204321.85599.0d"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2006.12.047"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmig.2007.08.606"}],"container-title":["Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fjog.13808","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/jog.13808","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,9]],"date-time":"2023-09-09T11:41:29Z","timestamp":1694259689000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jog.13808"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,25]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/jog.13808"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/jog.13808","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1341-8076","1447-0756"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1341-8076","type":"print"},{"value":"1447-0756","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,25]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2018-05-23","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2018-08-19","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2018-09-25","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
