About this trial

Few studies were interested in the patient satisfaction after ambulatory surgery. Most of them showed negative results due to psychological factors. The intervention including surgery and hospitalization is still perceived as painful memory for most of patients. Several improving axes have been explored to change global patient experience. One new idea could be to offer a virtual reality experience during the surgery or local regional anesthesia. Some studies showed that immersive experience can reduce the anxiety, the pain, improve the patient comfort and recovery after surgery. The virtual reality is commonly used but it has to be evaluated in terms of efficiency with a prospective study and objective outcomes to go further in the improvement of the experience and the care offer to patients.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Patient satisfaction of operating room management by Net Promoter Score

Net Promoter Score (scale from 0 to 10 with 3 groups: promoters for 9-10, passive for 7-8 and detractor for below 6)

Time frame
One Day after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Patient satisfaction of ambulatory hospitalization by e-SATIS questionnaire

e-SATIS questionnaire : measure of hospitalization experience and patient satisfaction (the best scoring is 100 , excellent satisfaction)

Time frame
One Day after surgery

Other outcomes

All dimension scores are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale, with 100 indicating the best possible level of satisfaction and 0 the worst.

Time frame
One Day after surgery
2

Functional outcomes by measurement of symptoms as well as the ability to perform certain activities. (QUICKDASH questionnaire)
