INTRODUCTION: Crohn´s disease (CD) highly affects a patient´s quality of life. The aim of the study was to find out the impact of surgery on the quality of life (QoL) in CD patients and factors affecting their postoperative QoL. METHODS: 90 patients with CD who underwent surgery (bowel resection) filled out an EORTC QLQ-CR29 questionnaire preoperatively and again after the surgical procedure. RESULTS: 77% of the patients experienced a positive change (p<0.001), 22% negative and 11% no change. CONCLUSION: In this cohort, we proved that surgical treatment improves the overall QoL in patients with CD. To determine factors which affect postoperative QoL, more patients need to be enrolled in future studies.Key words: Crohn´s disease - quality of life - surgery - bowel resection - Czech cohort.
