Effect of Prehabilitation on Surgical Outcomes of Abdominally-based Plastic Surgery Procedures
Recruiting
I'm InterestedTrial ID: NCT04787874
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a program to optimize patient physical
fitness and nutrition ("prehabilitation") prior to and after plastic surgery involving the
abdomen improves surgical outcomes. The investigators hope to determine how a multimodal
peri-operative prehabilitation program can be most effective in engaging and motivating
patients to physically and mentally get ready for an abdominally-based plastic surgery
operation. The overall goal is to determine if this program will improve post-operative
recovery after abdominally-based plastic surgery. The importance of this new knowledge is
better understanding of ways that plastic surgeons can improve outcomes, engagement, and
experience of patients undergoing abdominally-based plastic surgery operations. This would
translate to increased healthcare value and better long-term outcomes.
