Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted healthcare towards telehealth, prompting a study on patient acceptance and satisfaction with this model.
- In a multi-center, international study involving 721 patients, a majority found telehealth useful and rated the interface and interaction quality positively, although older patients (over 60) were less supportive.
- A prediction tool was developed to assess satisfaction and identify patients more comfortable with telehealth, suggesting it can be effectively integrated into routine care post-pandemic with careful patient selection.
Aim: In this study we aimed to assess the responsiveness of the symptom score of the recently developed Patient-Reported Outcome Measure-Haemorrhoidal Impact and Satisfaction Score (PROM-HISS). Furthermore, the minimally relevant difference (MRD) was determined.
Method: The responsiveness of PROM-HISS was tested using a criterion-based (i.
Background: Stoma reversal surgery can result in considerable morbidity and even mortality. Feasibility of utilizing single-port laparoscopy through the stoma fenestration have been shown before. Aim of the present observational study is to evaluate multicenter experiences of single-port reversal of left-sided colostomy (SPRLC) throughout Europe and to provide an overview of available literature on this topic.
