What this Trial Is About
This research aims to identify factors linked to no improvement in gastrointestinal quality of life after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones. The study focuses on patients who have symptomatic gallstones and undergo this surgery, with the goal of understanding outcomes related to abdominal symptoms and quality of life. Participants are observed without any additional intervention. The study monitors patients following their scheduled laparoscopic cholecystectomy, tracking their recovery and quality of life over time to gather data on gastrointestinal health. During the study, participants will complete questionnaires to assess their gastrointestinal quality of life using the GIQLI score at one year after surgery. Researchers will analyze these results to understand the impact of the surgery on abdominal symptoms and overall well-being. The study is observational and involves regular follow-up assessments over the course of the study period.
