Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

160
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Patient Communication
  • Informed Consent

Background:

  • Incomplete patient understanding of surgical procedures compromises informed consent and increases liability risks.
  • Factors like remote consultations and language barriers impede effective patient communication and shared decision-making.
  • Novel strategies are required to enhance patient comprehension and engagement in surgical consent processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of multi-language digital animations on patient understanding of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • To assess improvements in patient comprehension of procedure details, benefits, risks, and alternatives.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 72 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy at The Royal London Hospital.
  • Patients completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires assessing understanding, with 37 in the no-animation group and 35 in the animation group.
  • Multi-language digital animations explaining the procedure were integrated into the consent pathway for the intervention group.

Main Results:

  • Patients receiving digital animations demonstrated significantly higher reported understanding across all assessed domains (procedure, benefits, risks, alternatives) compared to the control group (p < 0.01).
  • Reported understanding increased from 54% to 91% for the procedure, 57% to 91% for benefits, 38% to 74% for risks, and 24% to 77% for alternatives.
  • The groups were comparable in age, sex, and primary language, ensuring robust comparison.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating multi-language video animations into the surgical consent process substantially improves patient understanding.
  • This digital approach offers a standardized, effective method to enhance informed consent across surgical specialties.
  • The findings support the use of multimedia tools to overcome communication barriers in modern surgical practice, especially with remote consultations.
