PurposeLate postoperative complications in choledochal cyst (CC) patients are severe problems that affect the quality of life (QOL). We evaluated the postoperative complications and health-related QOL (HRQOL) of CC patients 18years of age.MethodsFrom April 1984 to January 2018, 114 CC patients underwent definitive surgery at our institution. Seventy-nine patients reached 18years of age. The HRQOL was assessed using the Japanese version of the SF-36v2. Eight health domain (physical functioning, role-physical, body pain, general health, role-emotional, vitality, mental health, and social functioning) scores and three component summary [physical component summary, mental component summary (MCS), and role-social component summary] scores were compared between the patients with and without complications (C [+] vs. C [-]).ResultsThirty-five patients answered the questionnaires. Twelve patients had postoperative complications. Among the eight domains, the score of general health was significantly lower in C [+] patients than in C [-] patients (p=0.0488). Among the three component scores, the MCS score in C [+] patients was lower than in C [-] patients without significance (p=0.0953).ConclusionsThe HRQOL of CC patients 18years of age was mostly acceptable. However, postoperative complications can impair the sense of well-being and affect the mental health.
