Brief summary in lay language

Surgery often plays a major role in the treatment of abdominal cancer. There are open and minimally invasive abdominal surgery. Depending on the conditions of the individual case, the most suitable surgical method for the patient is selected. The study should contribute to finding out how and by what means operated patients would be satisfied or more satisfied. Furthermore, it is to be determined whether there is a difference in satisfaction depending on the surgical method.

Brief summary in scientific language

The study described here is a monocentric cross-sectional study. In two separate parts of the study, structured, standardized interviews will be conducted with patients undergoing elective open or minimally invasive pancreatic, esophageal, or rectal tumor surgery. In these interviews parameters of patient satisfaction are to be qualitatively elaborated. Topics such as medical-oncological care will be surveyed. In this context, for example, the medical quality perceived by the patient, postoperative pain, the cosmetic result, long-term survival or permanent disabilities are of relevance. Another topic to be examined will be the socio-demographic background of the patient, (age, education, or economic circumstances). In the second part of the study, questionnaires will be designed on the basis of the qualitative parameters and answered by patients (quantitative part). The questions designed for this purpose will be derived from the focal points named by patients in the qualitative part.

Interventions, Observational Groups

Arm 1:
Patients with rectal, esophageal, or pancreatic cancer who receive conservative or minimally invasive surgery are interviewed about their satisfaction pre- and postoperatively using a questionnaire. To develop the questionnaire, a qualitative assessment will first be conducted to clarify possible foci in satisfaction or dissatisfaction as well as patients' understanding of the disease.

Endpoints

Primary outcome:
This is a qualitative pilot study with a quantitative component and no defined primary endpoint. The aim of the study is to analyze which conditions would have to exist for patients operated in the clinic to be satisfied or more satisfied with the course of treatment and its results, and to gain insight into which factors positively or negatively influence patient satisfaction.
Secondary outcome:
This is a qualitative pilot study with a quantitative component and no defined secondary endpoint. Through this study, it is conceivable to derive improvements for certain clinical procedures in the future.
