Background: Video-based educational tools are becoming more commonly used among medical professionals to deliver instructions to patients. However, no studies have assessed patients' compliance with and understanding of post-operative instructions provided in the form of a video after tooth extraction. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two post-extraction instruction delivery methods (conventional versus video-based instructions) on patients' understanding of and compliance with post-operative care following dental extraction.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial assessed patients who had undergone dental extraction at the dental teaching hospital at Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the conventional group (n = 68) received written instructions, and the interventional video group (n = 58) was provided with instructions delivered in a video. Patient compliance and understanding of post-operative instructions after extraction were assessed via a questionnaire after two days. The questionnaire comprised three parts: the first part collected demographic data, the second part evaluated the patient's understanding of the post-operative instructions and the third part measured the patient's compliance with the post-operative instructions via close-ended questions. The collected data were analyzed via descriptive statistics and chi-square tests.
Results: This study involved 126 patients randomly divided into two groups: the conventional group (n = 68) and the video group (n = 58). The analysis of the questionnaires revealed no significant difference between the groups in terms of patient adherence to the post-extraction instructions.
Conclusion: Post-operative instruction videos are as effective as the conventional method in helping patients understand post-operative instructions after extraction.
Trial Registration: This randomized controlled trial was registered at the ISRCTN registry with the study registration number ISRCTN11048490.

Umbilical diseases are associated with a decreased market value and increased mortality in calves, and laparotomy is often performed in the field. This retrospective study compared the effects of inhalation anesthesia (INH) and injection anesthesia (INJ) during the perioperative period. We analyzed the medical records of 57 Japanese black calves that underwent laparotomy for umbilical diseases (umbilical hernia and/or umbilical cord disease) between January 2017 and December 2023.
