Creation of preoperative surgical education tools for women undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition, and many women require surgery to treat bothersome symptoms. Good preoperative education is essential so patients understand the surgery, know what to expect, and feel prepared for recovery. However, current counselling methods often do not fully meet patients’ needs. This study aims to develop a patient-centred education toolkit for women undergoing prolapse surgery. Women with lived experience of prolapse surgery will partner with researchers to co-create written, online, and interactive educational resources. The goal is to improve patients’ understanding, preparedness, satisfaction, and overall surgical experience.
