Interventions are increasingly being assessed in terms of their impact on such areas of functioning as mobility, mood, cognitive function, ability to fulfil occupational and social roles, and general life satisfaction. This paper discusses the theoretical underpinnings of the quality-of-life paradigm and its practical relevance for modern surgery.
