An Introduction to the Pelvic Pouch Procedure
"An Introduction to the Pelvic Pouch Procedure" is considered an essential tool to address concerns and questions from patients who are undergoing the Pelvic Pouch Procedure. By providing a familiarity of the experience and process for the prospective patient, a level of understanding is achieved, alleviating pre-operative anxiety and concern. The video adopts the human perspective through a patient's point of view. The patient reflects her own past experience as she takes the viewer through pre-admission, the hospital stay, recovery and discharge.
