Same Day Discharge Success: Patient Video Education on Sacrocolpopexy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video serves to educate patients on preoperative preparation for same-day discharge after minimally invasive sacral colopexy. The use of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols has shown that same-day discharge is safe and feasible in gynecologic surgery. Preoperative video education has been effective in maintaining high same-day discharge rates, low readmission rates, and high patient satisfaction. The video provides information on the surgical procedure for treating pelvic organ prolapse, post-operative care instructions, managing side effects from anesthesia, pain management, diet recommendations, exercise, and self-care. Patients are advised to contact their doctor for any concerns or symptoms. This video was presented by Cleveland Clinic.
