Brief Summary
Collection of PROMs (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) data from patients before and after an operation to remove their gallbladder for the treatment of symptomatic gallstones. This PROMs data will provide information to clinicians and trusts about the health gain following this type of surgery and the impact on patient's quality of life. This information will be collected by the implementation of the patient Website aboutmyop.org. This will not only allow patients to complete quality of life (PROMs) questionnaires online, but will also allow them to access information on their condition and necessary surgery, in addition to post-operative follow-up.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Mean domain PROMs scores for each study participant
We will look at the change in score between: pre--op and 30-Days, Pre-op and 3 Months post-op and pre-op and 6 months post-op. For this analysis we hope to use the paired t---test, however depending on whether the data is normally distributed or not this may require non---parametric analyses with the Wilcoxon rank---sum test. We also aim to look at the overall trend, which will require analysis of variance.
30-Days,3 Months and 6 Months
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Completion of the Multimedia Informed Consent package on aboutmyop.org
30 days
Completion of the 7---Day follow---up questionnaire.
7 days
Completion of a Patient Satisfaction Survey to receive feedback on the process.
6 months

- Adults:aged 18 to 85 years.
- Be referred for consideration for an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones based on their GPs diagnosis and referral to a general surgeon.
