title: [Quality of life after surgical interventions--vascular surgery].
abstract: Vascular surgery is primarily a reconstructive discipline that contributes appreciably to the patient's quality of life (QL) by improving many organ and system functions. The definition of QL includes a variety of specific and very individual aspects. The postoperative evaluation of QL must be based on the one hand on hard data and common clinical parameters, and, on the other, on the individual feeling of the patient, who compares preoperative sequelae and postoperative functional improvement.
