Objective: To determine whether it is possible to reduce the amount of pain and anxiety experienced during a vasectomy by use of two-dimensional (2D) video glasses or virtual reality (VR) glasses during the vasectomy.
Patients And Methods: A non-randomised controlled trial was performed between October 2017 and March 2018. A total of 176 patients were planned for a vasectomy in an outpatient setting and 141 of these patients were divided sequentially into three groups: Control, 2D video glasses and VR glasses.
Background: Good patient information has shown to improve surgical outcomes. In this study we explore what kind of pre-surgical information patients need and if the provision of a 360˚ video of a surgical procedure can be of added value to the information provided by the hospital.
Methods: An explorative qualitative study using semi-structured interviews on information needs was conducted among 17 inguinal hernia patients to gain more insight in the patients' present surgical information needs.
