About this study

The proposed research study looks to evaluate the effectiveness of combination of video counseling and virtual visits for pre-operative counseling as compared to in-office pre-operative counseling visits ahead of total laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery. Comparison of the two cohorts will be based on responses to surveys regarding patient preparedness on the day of surgery and information obtained from the electronic medical record.

Primary outcomes

  1. Differences in patient preparedness

    Time frame: Up to time of surgery

    Assess differences in patient preparedness at the time of the surgery between patients who received video and virtual pre-operative counseling versus those who received in-person counseling.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Unplanned office or emergency department visit

    Time frame: Up to 6 weeks after surgery

    Observe how many patients from each cohort require an unplanned visit to the office or visit to the emergency department.

  2. Same-day discharge versus admission rates

    Time frame: Up to 1 day after surgery

    Note differences in same-day discharges or admission rates following surgery between each cohort

  3. Readmission rates

    Time frame: Up to 6 weeks after surgery

    Record differences in readmission rates in the 6 week post-operative period between each cohort.
