In this study, the investigators will evaluate the impact of a pre-operative instructional video for patients undergoing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. The video will educate patients to understand what to expect and how to take care of themselves after the procedure. The effectiveness of the video will be evaluated via a questionnaire to see if patients who watched the video had better recovery outcomes, greater understanding, and less anxiety when compared to the group of patients who did not watch the pre-operative video.
The two questions the investigators wish to address are:
The study group of patients will be asked to watch the informational video about what to expect after their procedure and instructions on how to recover. They will be encouraged to ask their provider any follow-up questions. A link to view the video an unlimited amount of times will be provided. The control group of patients will receive the standard patient education in place before the procedure and will also be able to ask to follow-up questions from their provider. All patients will receive a link to complete a preoperative questionnaire.
Both groups will be scheduled for their routine two-week postoperative visit. At this visit, the questionnaire will be given to the patients in the form of a link to a virtual questionnaire to evaluate for effectiveness of the pre-operative video.

| patient level of satisfaction with the education they received prior to surgery | Our primary outcomes will be patient level of satisfaction with the education they received prior to surgery and its impact on post-operative care which will be measured by the standardized likert scale (1 to 5 scale where 1 = strongly disagree and 5= strongly agree). The survey will include the following objective and subjective measures: Tylenol tablets used (over two weeks), Ibuprofen tablets used (over two weeks), pain scale (1 to 5 scale where 1 = none and 5= very severe). Additional information will be collected from the patient's medical records (ie. office visit notes, telephone encounters, hospital laboratory results, pain medication refill requests). Patients should continue any medication regimen as instructed by their physician up to the day of surgery. Patients will be treated for complications as they would have been treated otherwise. Study duration period will be approximately six months. | 6 months to one year |
