Summary

This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) to teach patients about post-surgery care helps them feel more ready to leave the hospital after prostate removal. 46 men were split into two groups: one got standard discharge instructions, the other got an immersive VR lesson. The goal was to see if VR improves understanding and confidence for at-home recovery.
