First RAND-36-Item Health Survey in Three-dimensional Laparoscopy Cholecystectomy: A Prospective Randomized Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aim

National healthcare organizers require feedback from patients to improve medical treatment methods. Three-dimensional laparoscopy cholecystectomy (3D-LC) is a modern technique in surgery. However, there are no studies with patient feedback from validated questionnaires assessing the postoperative treatment results in 3D-LC.

Patients and methods

Initially 200 patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis were randomized into 3D-LC or mini-laparotomy cholecystectomy (MC) groups. RAND-36-Item Health Survey was performed preoperatively and 4 weeks following surgery relating the survey scores between the 3D-LC and MC groups.

Similar postoperative RAND-36 scores were reported for both groups preoperatively and at 4 weeks following surgery, and no significa
