Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess recovery in patients undergoing benign laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: do liberalized postoperative restrictions improve patient recovery after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery?

Researchers will compare postoperative recovery surveys from the control group (patients given standard postoperative restrictions limiting activity for 2 weeks) to the research group (patients given liberalized postoperative instructions allowing them to engage in their normal activities of daily life at their own discretion without prescribed activity restrictions) to see if liberalized postoperative restrictions improve the recovery experience.

Participants will be asked to fill out a brief questionnaire at two time intervals, 1 week after surgery and 2 weeks after surgery.
