Patient anxiety related to prostate cancer surgery may lead to reduced patient satisfaction. Repeated reinforcement of pre-operative education to reduce anxiety greatly impacts provider time. Improved knowledge retention of what to expect postoperatively may reduce patient anxiety. This quality improvement project demonstrated that a take-home educational video supports patient knowledge retention, reduces patient anxiety, increases patient satisfaction, and saves postoperative provider time
