title: [Quality of life of patients with hyperendotoxemia after hemicolectomy].
abstract: The concept of "health" is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease. Currently, one of the most widely used questionnaires of general type is the SF-36 Health Status Survey, proposed the Boston Institute for Health and created on the basis of other already existing tools for assessing QOL. Translated into Russian and testing methodology was conducted by the Institute of clinical and pharmacological studies (St. Petersburg). Any surgical intervention, in particular the removal of part of the colon can lead to a restriction of all aspects (physical, mental and social) of a normal human life. The goal of treatment of any disease should be considered as improving the quality of life of the patient on a background of positive clinical dynamics, assessing the quality of life indicators, which depend on many external and internal factors.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  to study the quality of life of patients after hemicolectomy, depending on the type of colon resection and the level of endotoxemia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Analysis of quality of life of patients after undergoing surgery--hemicolectomy carried out using questionnaire SF-36 indicates a decline in general condition and mental health in patients after left-sided hemicolectomy. The study showed a close pathogenetic relationship between endotoxemia and decreased quality of life of patients after hemicolectomy.
