| Summary: | Introduction. Quality of life (QoL) is a new promising area of clinical medicine that provides the opportunity to assess the state of health of the patient and to have a notion of the surgery effects based on the parameters which are lying at the intersection of scientific approach of the surgeons and subjective point of view of the patient.Materials and methods. The study included 52 living-related liver fragment donors operated between 2009 and 2014. Donors were surveyed after 2–5 years from the surgery. Comparison group was formed by healthy volunteers, students of the Medical University. The Russian version of the non-specific SF-36 questionnaire was used to assess QoL.Results. Donors in the postoperative period have demonstrated a high level of physical parameter (57.65 ± 3.8). Parameter of psychological health in the postoperative period was (52.01 ± 5.2). These figures are comparable with the results in the comparison group (p > 0.05). All donors have returned to normal life.Conclusions. Overall results of this study were similar to those of the foreign colleagues which confirm the high safety of liver resection surgery and the efficacy of SF-36 questionnaire in the assessment of quality of life of the living-related liver fragment donors.
