Effect of Pre-operative Virtual Visits on Patients With Head and Neck Cancer Undergoing Surgery

NCT06094621 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2025-03-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with head and neck cancer often undergo complex surgeries requiring significant care post-operatively. This presents considerable psychosocial challenges in addition to their need to physically recover from a large surgery.

The study team will interview patients who have undergone virtual visits before their surgical procedures. The study aims to explore patients' experiences, satisfaction, and perceptions of virtual visits for informing and preparing them for surgery and their postoperative care needs.

The study team will also analyze the effects of the virtual visits on financial costs and patient outcomes such as length of hospital stay, delayed discharges due to social issues, and whether the virtual visits identified any significant medical concerns, etc. The study team will compare these to a randomly selected cohort of patients who also underwent surgical resection and reconstruction for head and neck cancer that did not get pre-operative virtual visits.
