Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to validate patient's satisfaction and surgical complication rate in patients treated at a certified endometriosis centre with personal patient care (PPC). METHODS The implementation of PPC at a gynaecologic treatment centre was retrospectively evaluated by analysing perioperative complications using the Clavien Dindo (CD) classification and patient satisfaction utilizing the Picker Patient Experience Questionnaire (PPE-15) for a total of 219 symptomatic endometriosis patients treated surgically at a certified endometriosis centre (Agaplesion Diakonie Hospital, Kassel, Germany) between November 2018 and April 2019. Data from our sample on complication rates and satisfaction were compared with those from reference samples published by Radosa et al. and Jenkinson et al. RESULTS: An overall complication rate of 10.96% (24 out of 219 patients) was observed. Four endometriosis patients (1.83%) had major complications with complications grade III according to the CD classification system. 155 patients out of 219 chose to answer the PPE-15 (return rate 70.78%). 92 patients (59.35%) reported about problems during their treatment in our hospital in their PPE-15. "Doctors sometimes talked as if I was not here" was the best rated item (1.2%) in our cohort. "Staff gave conflicting information" was the most mentioned item (33.55%) by patients during their hospital stay in relation to patient dissatisfaction. CONCLUSION Incorporation of PPC in the surgical inpatient treatment of endometriosis patients resulted in a low postoperative complication rate and a high patient satisfaction in our study cohort. Furthermore, nursing staff of endometriosis patients also needs particular attention.
