First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether virtual group counseling sessions help patients feel more prepared and satisfied before pelvic organ prolapse surgery, compared to standard individual phone calls. About 106 adults scheduled for surgery at Cleveland Clinic will fill out surveys before and after their operation. The goal is to see if the group approach improves patient experience and uses healthcare resources wisely.
