QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS AFTER LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY FOR GALLSTONES AT YEN BAI PROVINCIAL GENERAL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: PreoperatiVe and early postoperatiVe quality of life in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones using the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) at Yen Bai ProVincial General Hospital. Subject and method: This was a prospectiVe descriptiVe study of the cases who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones from January 2022 to February 2023 at Yen Bai ProVincial General Hospital. Result: Surgery was performed on 67 patients: symptomatic group (37 patients), asymptomatic group (30 patients). Mean age was 46.3 ± 9.2 years, 62.7% of patients were female. Acute cholecystitis was
present in 6% of patients, and chronic cholecystitis 31%. The aVerage length of hospital stay was 4 ± 1.1 days. Quality of life: Mean score in the symptomatic group (55.6 before surgery; 77.8 after 3 months; p<0.05); mean score in the asymptomatic group (66.8 before surgery; 78.7 after 3 months; p<0.05). Mean score for both groups before surgery was 61.2 and after 3 months was 78.7 (p<0.05). For the subgroups of items, the core symptoms and the physical, psychological, and disease-specific items improVed significantly in both groups in the postoperatiVe period (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). Conclusion: Quality of life was improVed significantly after the surgery in both groups, but more likely to benefit in the symptomatic group.
