[Peri- and postoperative quality of life in pelviscopy and laparotomy]. / Peri- und postoperative Lebensqualität bei Pelviskopien und Laparotomien.

ABSTRACT

In 298 patients we evaluated criteria of peri- and post-operative quality of life. 222 patients underwent pelviscopic surgery and 76 patients underwent laparotomy. The parameters of convalescence used were the duration of hospital stay and disablement, the duration and intensity of post-operative discomfort, and the number of consultations in a physician's office after discharge from hospital. Our results show, that minimal access endoscopic surgery can reduce the impairment in the peri- and post-operative quality of life.
