Özet

Background: Although many studies have compared open and laparoscopic procedures, showing many advantages in favor of the laparoscopic technique during the early postoperative period, only a limited number of reports in the literature compare the two techniques during the later follow-up period with regard to quality of life. This study aimed to compare the effects of these two cholecystectomy techniques on the quality of life and clinical outcome of the patients during long-term follow-up evaluation.
