Mobile app follow-up care

The mobile app follow-up care is an application that can be loaded on to a smartphone. It allows the patient to submit photos of their surgical site, VAS pain scores, and QoR9 scores. The information collected is transmitted to members of the surgical team (i.e. the primary surgeon) and used to monitor recovery over the first 30-days following surgery.

OTHER

Conventional, in-person follow-up care

This includes a typical in-person visit with the operating surgeon at one- and four-weeks after surgery.
