PREPARE: Patient Centered Perioperative Experience

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an educational video about patients' perioperative experience (period that spans from the time of admission to the hospital to the time of recovery after surgery) will affect the timing of hospital discharge. The researchers will use information collected during this study to create a questionnaire and an educational video related to the patient perioperative experience. The educational video will address patient concerns about the perioperative period and recovery after surgery (post-operative recovery).

All participants in this study will be undergoing a MIS hysterectomy according to their routine care in the Gynecology
