Summary
This prospective clinical cohort study will include patients with gallstones and abdominal pain scheduled for surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy). Data on quality of life, abdominal pain, gallstone disease, and patient characteristics will be collected before surgery. The outcomes will be assessed three months following surgery and will primarily be determinants for resolution of pain. The aim is to make a prediction score that may aid clinicians and patients in decision making about surgery.
