Follow-up of Bariatric Surgery by Teleconsultations
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
An organised follow-up is required after bariatric surgery, but 50% of patients are lost to follow-up after 2 years. To design a large randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing teleevaluations and teleconsultations to classical follow, aiming to prove that the quality of the follow-up is maintained and the patient-experience is improved, at a lower cost in people living far from the reference centre, this pilot study aims at describing the distribution of the collected criteria.
Official title: Using Tele-evaluation and Teleconsultation Instead of Classical Consultation for the Follow-up of Obese Patients After Bariatric Surgery : a Pilot Study.
