“…Several studies showed that health status was improved, both after LC and open cholecystectomy in patients suffering socially disabling uncomplicated symptomatic cholecystolithiasis [ 12 – 14 ]. Differences between the open and laparoscopic technique are not clear [ 15 ], although some studies found superior results using the laparoscopic technique [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Background Gallstones are a major cause of morbidity, and cholecystectomy is a commonly performed procedure. Minimal invasive procedures, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and small-incision cholecystectomy (SIC), have replaced the classical open cholecystectomy. No differences have been found in primary outcome measures between LC and SIC, therefore secondary outcome measures have to be considered to determine preferences. The aim of our study was to examine health status applying evidence-based guidelines in LC and SIC in a randomised trial. Methods Patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis were included in a blind randomised trial. Operative procedures, anaesthesia, analgesics and postoperative care were standardised in order to limit bias. Questionnaires were filled in preoperatively, the first day postoperatively, and at outpatients follow-up at 2, 6 and 12 weeks. In accordance with evidence-based guidelines, the generic short form (SF-36) and the disease-specific gastrointestinal quality-of-life index (GIQLI) questionnaires were used in addition to the body image questionnaire (BIQ). Results A total of 257 patients were randomised between LC (120) and SIC (137). Analyses were performed according to intention-to-treat (converted procedures included) and also distinguishing converted from minimal invasive (nonconverted) procedures. Questionnaires were obtained with a response rate varying from 87.5% preoperatively to 77.4% three months postoperatively. Except for two time-specific measurements in one SF-36 subscale, there were no differences between LC and SIC. There were significant differences in several subscales in all three questionnaires comparing minimal invasive versus converted procedures. Conclusions Applying adequate methodological quality and evidence-based guidelines (by using SF-36 and GI-QLI), there are no significant differences in health status between LC and SIC.

“…The SF-36 is a validated questionnaire of 36 queries assessing 8 domains of QOL: physical function, physical limitations, emotional problems, energy and fatigue, emotional wellbeing, social function, pain, and general health. 10,11 The Female Sexual Function Index is a validated, reliable questionnaire involving 19 questions and assessments of 6 domains of sexual function: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain with intercourse. [12][13][14] Each domain is scored on a scale of 1 to 6, with higher scores indicating better function.…”

“…Scores range from 0 to 24, and a higher score correlates to worse continence. The Short Form‐36 (SF‐36) Questionnaire was chosen as it is a generic QOL tool that has been employed as a measure of patient outcome and used to assess the perioperative QOL of patients with a variety of surgical diseases . Population norms for the UK have been calculated, and the mean score of 8000 people of working age is used as reference for the population norm .…”
