NCT ID NCT04472117
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether watching an educational video about what to expect before and after surgery can help women leave the hospital sooner after a minimally invasive hysterectomy. Researchers will compare patients who watch the video to those who receive usual care. The goal is to improve the patient experience and possibly shorten recovery time.
