Özet
Objective: To assess and compare the health-related quality of life of women undergoing robotic gynecologic surgery, laparoscopic gynecologic surgery or laparotomy for benign and cancerous conditions. Methods: Cross-sectional study design was used. The present study was carried out with 240 women, who underwent gynecologic surgery (robotic 48, laparoscopic 96, and laparotomy 96) in a tertiary care hospital. Instruments included a participant description questionnaire and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36. The data were collected 4 weeks after surgery, at the first postoperative visit of women to the clinic. Pearson χ2 test, one-way analysis of variance, and regression analysis were used to assess the data. Results: Over half of the women in each group had surgery because of gynecologic cancer. All the subscale scores of Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 were significantly higher in the robotic group than the other surgical groups (P < 0.05). Women in the robotic group had better quality of life in terms of both the physical component and the mental component after surgery. Conclusions: Knowledge of health-related quality of life in the recovery period after surgery is important for healthcare providers to provide adequate preventive measures, information, and follow up.
