The post-operational scores of 6 items were significantly higher than that of pre-operation. ( P<0.001). The proportion of "poor" and "very poor" QOL in the pre-operational patients was 43.8%, compared with 0 in the post-operative patients;the proportion of "good" and "very good" QOL in the pre-operatve patients was 4.7%, compared to 86.7% in the post-operative patients ( χ2=146.863, P<0.001).
