Patient Preparedness for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Patient Preparedness
In brief
Patient preparedness has been associated with increased patient satisfaction, decreased postoperative pain and decreased postoperative narcotic use; however, little is known regarding the optimal way to prepare patients prior to pelvic reconstructive surgery. The primary aim of this study is to determine if a preoperative counseling in person visit has similar rates of patient preparedness as a preoperative counseling phone call for women undergoing same-day pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Secondary aims evaluate patient satisfaction, postoperative pain scores and postoperative narcotic usage. Women who plan to undergo pelvic organ prolapse surgery will be randomized to a preoperative in person counseling visit or a preoperative counseling phone call. Participants will complete questionnaires to assess their preparedness, satisfaction and postoperative pain. The goal of this study is to gather information that will allow clinicians to improve patient surgical preparedness and satisfaction.
