Details and patient eligibility

About

This study aims to investigate whether frequent follow-ups can enhance the quality of life of patients after hemorrhoid surgery and reduce the incidence of complications. A total of 116 eligible patients were randomly and evenly divided into two groups (58 patients in each group): A. The control group: Patients received routine health education services upon discharge and were then followed up by phone at the regular frequency. B. The high-frequency group: Patients received routine health education services upon discharge and were then followed up by phone at a higher frequency. The quality of life of the patients and the incidence of complications were compared to evaluate the clinical effects of different intervention measures. The main hypothesis is that compared to conventional care, frequent follow-ups can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, promote wound healing, and reduce the incidence of complications and disease recurrence.
