Surgery follow-up care by video or phone
This study tests whether follow-up visits after surgery can be done safely and effectively by video or phone. It may be a good option if you are having general or cancer surgery and do not need special wound care devices that require an in-person visit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for a general surgery or a surgery for cancer.
- Your surgery should not need special wound devices (like staples, drains, or wound vacuums) that require an in-person visit to remove.
- You need to be comfortable with having some of your follow-up care done by video call or phone call.
- No other restrictions are listed; most patients having standard surgeries can join.
