Post-Op Complication
Conditions
Brief summary
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).
Interventions
BEHAVIORALTraditional
Surgeons (rather than individual subjects) will be randomized to traditional Postoperative follow-up modality groups. They will adhere to this form of postoperative follow-up for all of their surgical patients (subjects) for one month.
BEHAVIORALVirtual
Surgeons (rather than individual subjects) will be randomized to virtual postoperative follow-up modality group. They will adhere to that form of postoperative follow-up for all of their surgical patients (subjects) for one month.
