Background: GIQLI of gastrointestinal quality of life is widely used by gastroenterologists and digestive surgeons. Its transcultural adaptation is needed for its local application.

Aim: To carry out a transcultural adaptation of the neutral English version of GIQLI, carrying out translation, comparison of translations, reverse translation and pilot test.

Results: The population partially understand the instrument, the confusing elements were modified creating a provisional version, and the provisory version was applied again in a pilot research, with satisfactory understanding.

Conclusions: There is an adapted version of the GIQLI to be used in Chile, which can be subjected to validation processes in local population to be used in patients operated on in the gastrointestinal tract.
