Considering its availability, reduction of postoperative pain and shortened stay in the hospital, a constant upward trend in the number of such procedures is observed. However, about one third of patients undergoing such treatment report pain and dyspeptic disorders following the surgery. The assessment of the quality of life of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, based on standardized questionnaires, should be one of the elements allowing for the assessment of the impact of the applied treatment on patients' lives. <\/br><\/br> <b>Aim:<\/b> The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the impact of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on the quality of life of patients operated in one center. <\/br><\/br> <b>Materials and methods:<\/b> The study has been carried out retrospectively with the use of a GIQLI questionnaire completed online by the patients 6 months after undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study included patients over 18 years of age who have not experienced any complications within the perioperative period and did not require open surgery. The study group has been divided into two subgroups depending on the presence of symptoms of acute gallstone disease in the pre-operative period. <\/br><\/br> <b>Results: <\/b>The study group consisted of 205 patients (53 men, 152 women, aged 19 to 87, with an average of 54.3). The subgroup with an asymptomatic gallstone disease (dyspeptic disorders, without biliary colic) consisted of 47 patients (18 men, 29 women, aged 19\u201387). Symptomatic gallstone disease occurred in 158 people (35 men, 123 women aged 22 to 81). There have been certain statistically significant differences in the post-operative health condition between the group of patients with symptoms of gallstone disease and the asymptomatic patients. 94.3% of symptomatic patients concluded that their condition has improved and 5.7% that it remained unchanged. Among asymptomatic patients, only 53.2% of patients stated that they felt better post-surgery, 44.7% reported no changes (p < 0.001). There have been no significant differences in the overall QIQLI scores between these subgroups, although symptomatic patients assessed their social functioning better (8.9 \u00b11.5 vs 8.11 \u00b12.08, p = 0.004). There have been certain differences between men and women in the assessment of the quality of life in the context of the presence of key symptoms (M: 28.87 \u00b14.23, F: 26.77 \u00b15.0, p = 0.007). <\/br><\/br> <b> Conclusion:<\/b> The patients with a symptomatic gallstone disease report they feel better after laparoscopic cholecystectomy as compared to the group of asymptomatic patients. The overall QOL score measured by the GIQLI form does not depend on the presence of symptoms in the preoperative period. Men benefited more from surgery as regards key symptoms.\n\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0015.4213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,22]],"date-time":"2021-12-22T12:01:41Z","timestamp":1640174501000},"page":"19-24","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Quality of life in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to gallstone disease \u2013 evaluation of long-term postoperative results"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Gach","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Institute of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"Bogacki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Institute of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beata","family":"Markowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Institute of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Bonior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Physiology, Institute of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Paplaczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Nursing, Institute of Nursing and Midwifery, Faculty of Health Sciences, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miros\u0142aw","family":"Szura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Institute of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3689","reference":[{"key":"223022r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Littlefield A., Lenahan C.: Cholelithiasis: Presentation and Management.
