Among patients with decline in physical strength, fatigue, and abdominal pain, 60.4%, 55.8%, and 51.4% of each of the groups, respectively, were associated with diarrhea. The incidences of severe diarrhea was 0.9%, severe fatigue was 0.3%, severe decline in physical strength 0% and severe abdominal pain 0%.Conclusions:The quality of life of patients declined after LC.
