Gallstone disease, commonly referred to as cholelithiasis, is a prevalent medical condition that has substantial global implications. Due to its numerous benefits, such as cheaper costs and shorter hospital stays, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has replaced open surgery as the most often performed surgical method for treating a range of biliary problems in wealthy countries. Any medical procedure's long-term patient well-being must be assessed, starting with the quality of life (QoL), patient satisfaction, and postoperative healing.
The current study aims to evaluate patient satisfaction and QoL after undergoing LC in Al-Qunfudhah Governorate.
A cross-sectional study was conducted targeting all patients who underwent LC in Al-Qunfudhah Governorate during the period from January to March 2024. The online survey was initiated by the study researchers after an intensive literature review and experts' consultation. The validated questionnaire was uploaded online using Google Forms and distributed electronically via social media apps.
The current study included records of 200 participants where the highest proportion falls within the 26 to 35 age group, comprising 57 individuals (28.5%). In terms of gender, males represent the majority, with 109 participants (54.5%). A total of 122 individuals (61.0%) reported being satisfied with their procedures. Conversely, 18 patients (9.0%) expressed dissatisfaction. The majority of participants under investigation expressed satisfaction with their overall QoL after undergoing LC, with 84 patients (42.0%) reporting satisfaction and 67 patients (33.5%) reporting being very satisfied. Additionally, only a small proportion of participants expressed dissatisfaction or very dissatisfaction Conclusion: In summary, the current study demonstrated high satisfaction with the LC treatment and highly reported QoL, which were mostly attributable to a number of factors such as the staff's cooperation, the lack of severe problems, and the sufficiency of the pre-surgery information supplied.
胆结石病，通常称为胆石症，是一种普遍的医学病症，在全球具有重大影响。由于其诸多益处，如成本较低和住院时间较短，在富裕国家，腹腔镜胆囊切除术（LC）已取代开放手术，成为治疗一系列胆道问题最常采用的手术方法。任何医疗程序都必须评估患者的长期健康状况，首先是生活质量（QoL）、患者满意度和术后恢复情况。
本研究旨在评估在宰赫兰省接受LC治疗后的患者满意度和生活质量。
进行了一项横断面研究，目标是2024年1月至3月期间在宰赫兰省接受LC治疗的所有患者。在深入的文献综述和专家咨询后，研究人员发起了在线调查。经过验证的问卷通过谷歌表单在线上传，并通过社交媒体应用程序进行电子分发。
本研究纳入了200名参与者的记录，其中比例最高的是26至35岁年龄组，有57人（28.5%）。在性别方面，男性占多数，有109名参与者（54.5%）。共有122人（61.0%）报告对手术满意。相反，18名患者（9.0%）表示不满意。大多数接受调查的参与者对接受LC治疗后的总体生活质量表示满意，84名患者（42.0%）报告满意，67名患者（33.5%）报告非常满意。此外，只有一小部分参与者表示不满意或非常不满意。结论：总之，本研究表明对LC治疗的满意度很高，生活质量报告也很高，这主要归因于许多因素，如工作人员的合作、没有严重问题以及术前提供的信息充足。
