Telemonitoring for perioperative care of outpatient bariatric surgery: Preference-based randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Implementation of bariatric surgery on an outpatient basis is hampered by concerns about timely detection of postoperative complications. Telemonitoring could enhance detection and support transition to an outpatient recovery pathway.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate non-inferiority and feasibility of an outpatient recovery pathway after bariatric surgery, supported by remote monitoring compared to standard care.

Design

Preference-based non-inferiority randomized trial.

Setting

Center for obesity and metabolic surgery, Catharina hospital Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

Participants

Adult patients scheduled for primary gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
