Post-surgery telehealth follow-up for general surgery patients
This trial tests whether video follow-up visits after general surgery are safe, effective, and satisfying for patients compared to in-person visits. It may help avoid the need to travel to the hospital for routine post-surgery check-ups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for general surgery or cancer surgery.
- You do not have any wound care needs that require in-person removal of stitches, staples, drains, or wound vacuum devices.
- You are willing to have your post-surgery follow-up visit done by video call instead of in person.
