Effect of Standardized Consent for Urogynecological Procedures on Patient Satisfaction

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Urinary Incontinence, Pelvic Organ Prolapse

In brief

The investigators aim is to augment the current process for surgical consent for patients undergoing urogynecological procedures by incorporating visual media. We propose that visual media will be an effective and efficient addition to the standard of care in urogynecological consents and will improve patient understanding and satisfaction. Our randomized controlled trial will investigate the effect of standardizing the consent for three urogynecologic procedures (vaginal hysterectomy, robotic sacrocolpopexy, and sub-urethral sling) using visual media, on patients' understanding of, and satisfaction with, their procedure. Our primary outcome will be patient's knowledge score at the end of the pre-operative clinic visit, and secondary outcomes include patients' satisfaction, subjective understanding of their procedure, immediate pre-operative and post-operative knowledge, and number of post-operative encounters. Participants will be followed up to their post-operative clinic visit.
