In the researchers' words
This research is being done to test a two-way video system mounted on top of a robot. After surgery the act of seeing and evaluating patients in the hospital is called standard "rounding". This research study will allow doctors to see and speak with their patients using the two-way video system - "telerounding", during their stay at the hospital. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of telerounding during a patients hospital stay. Our hypothesis is that post-operative morbidity and the time to identification of post-operative morbidity will not vary with this new method of rounding.
