Study Summary

This trial is comparing the safety and effectiveness of post-operative visits done virtually to in-person visits for patients who had a minimally invasive hysterectomy. The goal is to see if virtual visits are just as good as in-person visits when it comes to patient satisfaction.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients over 18 who have had a minimally invasive hysterectomy and can give informed consent. They must speak English and have access to technology like a phone or computer for virtual visits. It's not suitable for those where the surgeon advises against virtual follow-up, suspects cancer, or if they can't consent or lack tech access.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares patient satisfaction between virtual postoperative visits and in-office ones after minimally invasive hysterectomy. Satisfaction is measured using surveys, with secondary focus on new post-op complications requiring treatment, additional office visits, urgent care/ER trips, no-show rates, visit duration, and travel distance.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

There are no direct medical side effects from participating in this trial as it involves comparing types of appointments rather than medications. However, potential issues could include miscommunication leading to delayed diagnosis of complications such as infections or wound healing problems.
