Patient Satisfaction With Virtual Postoperative Visit

NYU Langone Health122 enrolled

Overview

This is a prospective, randomized study designed to evaluate the effects of different initial postoperative follow-up modalities. Given the nature of the study, it is not possible for either the surgeons or the subjects to be blinded. To reduce bias that may occur due to each surgeon's personal preference for postoperative follow-up modality, the surgeons (rather than individual subjects) will be randomized to one of two postoperative follow-up modality groups (traditional or virtual).
