Factors Influencing Postoperative Recovery and Time Off Work of Patients with Benign Indications for Surgery - Results of a Prospective Study.

Conclusion Recovery after gynecological surgery is a multifactorial process. This survey of a patient population identified psychological and physical factors which influence recovery but did not find significant sociodemographic parameters affecting recovery. Irrespective of these findings, gynecological surgery for benign indications resulted in an improvement in health-related quality of life. Prospective studies need to investigate whether psychological interventions could reduce preoperative fear and thereby improve postoperative recovery. PMID: 32675834 [PubMed]
