Patient Satisfaction With Postoperative Follow up After Minimally Invasive

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This prospective, randomized control trial will evaluate patient satisfaction with the number of postoperative follow up visits after minimally invasive hysterectomy for the treatment of non-cancerous conditions at an urban academic hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. Patients will be randomized to receive either a two and six week postoperative follow up visits versus a postoperative follow up visit at six weeks alone.

Clinical Trial Description

The objective of follow up appointments following benign gynecologic surgery is to ensure adequate postoperative recovery, assess additional patient concerns, and to identify and manage any delayed postoperative complications. There is limited literature addressing short-term postoperative follow up for benign gynecologic surgery, particularly those performed through a minimally invasive approach. The benefits of minimally invasive surgery includes shorter operative time, reduced hospital stay, improved cosmesis, and faster recovery especially when combined with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols. However, this does not negate the need for follow up. Although no consensus exists on the appropriate frequency and number of postoperative appointments, there is no debate on its value. Due to lack of evidence on this issue, the number and frequency of postoperative appointments is currently dependent on surgeon preference, type of procedure performed and complications encountered intraoperatively and postoperatively, which could lead to patient confusion and unnecessary cost and hassle. For this reason, investigation of outcomes based on the number and frequency of postoperative follow up visits may improve optimal patient satisfaction, improve compliance and provide early detection of postoperative complications. Such knowledge could serve to mitigate efforts to develop and implement protocols to improve compliance with postoperative follow-up care, potentially reduce emergency room visits, readmissions, empower patients and reduce cost. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
