Condition: Abdominal Surgery · Postoperative Recovery · Postoperative Pain · Sponsor: Alexandria University
Major abdominal surgery often leads to significant postoperative pain, anxiety, and prolonged hospital stays, which can delay overall recovery. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of immersive Virtual Reality (VR) as a non-pharmacological intervention to enhance the quality of recovery and reduce the length of hospital stay. Patients in the intervention group will engage in standardized VR sessions featuring guided relaxation and mindfulness-based stress reduction, starting from the evening before surgery through the third postoperative day. The study compares this VR-enhanced protocol against standard perioperative care within an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) framework. The findings are expected to determine if VR can serve as a feasible and effective tool to improve clinical outcomes and patient well-being in surgical wards.
