Operation results
Operations carried out for quadrant pain in 2003 to 2005
From September 2003, all patients who have undergone an operation for quadrant pain have been systematically monitored and observed. Basic
information is ascer-tained with the aid of a questionnaire (age, sex, dominance of the hemisphere showing a tendency to be right or left handed), anamnestic information (how many years/months before the operation, external
diagnosis of fibromyalgia, diagnosis with the aid of acupuncture, previous therapy) and information on symptoms (pain, problems) in the upper or lower quadrant. This allows for a check to be made on the operation results after 3, 6
and 12 months. Furthermore, the result of the operation can also be evaluated in relation to the subgroups, for example pain and irritated colon syndrome. Analysis is already now available of information from 576 patients operated
on from 2003.
