Post-Op Quality of Life After Colorectal Surgery

The purpose of this study is to produce a user-friendly tool- in the form of a questionnaire - to accurately assess early quality of life in patients after abdominal colorectal surgery from the first day after surgery to 6 months after. The study will also compare this questionnaire to the other currently available assessment tools. Patients are invited to participate if they are undergoing abdominal colorectal surgery at University Hospitals of Cleveland.
