ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the impact of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on the physical and mental health of patients with gallbladder dysmotility.METHODS:
Retrospective data was collected from 314 patients who had undergone a hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan between June 2012 and June 2022 in a District General Hospital in South East England. Sixty-three patients who were diagnosed with gallbladder dysmotility were then contacted and asked to participate in a telephone interview regarding their symptoms. We measured their health-related quality of life using the HRQoL SF-12 v2 (Health Related Quality of Life Short Form-12 version 2) questionnaire. Differences in the resolution of symptoms between those that had undergone a cholecystectomy and those who did not, were assessed using a chi square test. The two groups were then compared using the student t-test to assess statistically significant differences.RESULTS:
94% (n = 31/33) of the participants in the non-cholecystectomy group demonstrated persistent biliary pain symptoms as opposed to the 6% (n = 2/30) in the cholecystectomy group. A statistically significant improvement in five out of the eight domains of the HRQoL SF-12 questionnaire was demonstrated. These domains include PCS (physical component summary), MCS (mental component summary), mental health, general health and bodily pain.CONCLUSION:
The results of our retrospective analysis demonstrate an improvement in both the physical and mental health-related quality of life symptoms in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. These findings support the use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy as an effective method for managing gallbladder dysmotility.Palabras clave
