Materials and Methods: In the study cohort of 100 patients using SF-36 in patients of pre-operative and post-operative standard LC are compared in eight domains of health quality index in Maharani Laxmi Bai Medical College, Jhansi between January 2021 and June 2022.

Results: There is finding of significant change in seven domains in mean±1 month, (1) Physical functioning – pre-operative and post-operative, that is, 33.00±31.812 and 88.68±22.40, respectively, (2) Role limitations due to physical health – pre-operative and post-operative, that is, 3.5±18.401 and 98.75±10.546, respectively, (3) Role limitations due to emotional problems – pre-operative and post-operative, that is, 4.67±21.128 and 98.67±11.489, respectively, (4) Energy/fatigue- pre-operative and post-operative, that is, 34.94±16.638 and 83.11±12.456, respectively, (5) Social pre-operative functioning – pre-operative and post-operative, that is, 39.38±20.428 and 98.88±5.196 respectively, (6) Pain – pre-operative and post-operative, that is, 34.73±18.340 and 97.30±15.489, respectively, (7) General health – pre-operative and post-operative, that is, 35.85±35.897 and 67.00±35.511, respectively, and minimal change in one domain (8) Emotional well-being – pre-operative and post-operative, that is, 34.16±15.491 and 39.08±18.694.
