ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different recovery plans affect women after they have minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, which is a type of surgery done with small incisions. Specifically, the researchers want to find out if allowing patients to return to their normal activities sooner, without strict limits, helps them recover better compared to following standard restrictions that keep them from doing much for two weeks after surgery.

To participate, women who are 18 years or older, can speak English (and eventually Spanish), and have had surgery using small 5-8 mm port sites may be eligible. During the trial, participants will fill out a short survey one week and two weeks after their surgery to share how they feel and how their recovery is going. It’s important to note that the trial is not yet recruiting participants, so women interested in this study will need to wait until it officially begins.
