The Impact of a Redesigned Handout for Robotic Sacrocolpopexy on Patient Preoperative Preparedness and Satisfaction

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new preoperative handout for patients undergoing robotic sacrocolpopexy will improve patient sense of preparedness and satisfaction in comparison to the previously used handout. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the new preoperative handout for patients undergoing robotic sacrocolpopexy improve patient preparedness and satisfaction? * Will the new preoperative handout for patients undergoing robotic sacrocolpopexy impact postoperative queries in the form of phone calls and messages to the clinic?

Participants will:

* Receive routine counseling regarding robotic sacrocolpopexy from their surgeon * Be randomized to the new or old preoperative handout * Undergo robotic sacrocolpopexy * Complete a questionnaire at their 4 week postoperative follow up visit regarding their sense of preparedness for surgery and overall satisfaction

Inclusion criteria

  • women who were to undergo robotic sacrocolpopexy with or without supracervical hysterectomy, rectopexy, salpingectomy, urinary incontinence procedures, or other minor procedures.

Exclusion criteria

  • patients unable to provide informed consent, those undergoing other concomitant major abdominal surgeries, patients less than 18 years old, pregnant patients, non-English speaking patients, and patients planning postoperative follow up at an outside facility.

Treatment and study plan

new preoperative handout

Other

A new preoperative handout for robotic sacrocolpopexy was designed at a lower reading level and providing more perioperative details

old preoperative handout

Other

The old or standard preoperative handout for robotic sacrocolpopexy

Primary outcomes

  1. Patient preparedness

    Time frame: Assessed at the postoperative visit 4 to 6 weeks after srugery

    Patients sense of preparedness for robotic sacrocolpopexy was measured with a series of 5 point Likert style questions (ranging strongly disagree to strongly agree). Specifically, patients were asked how satisfied the were with 1) information provided by their surgeon, 2) time spent with the patient preparing them for surgery, 3) overall sense of sense of preparedness.

Secondary outcomes

  1. patient satisfaction

    Time frame: 4 week postoperatively

    patient satisfaction for their overall experience undergoing robotic was assessed using a 5 point patient score. Scores ranged from extremely dissatisfied to extremely satisfied
