The COVID-19 pandemic has driven surgical specialties to offer video-based or phone-based telehealth options for pre-surgical visits. Phone-based visits are more accessible for patients given the ubiquitous use of phone technology. This study analyzes the safety and feasibility of phone-based telehealth for preoperative visits of thoracic surgical patients undergoing oncologic resection. Surgery cancellation, post-surgical length of stay, and number of preoperative visits were not significantly different between these two groups. The cancellation rate is less than reported averages of 10.2%-14.3%. Phone-based preoperative visits are non-inferior to office visits. Inability to attend preoperative office evaluations should not serve as a barrier to thoracic oncologic surgical care. The objective of this project is to evaluate the rate of cancelation, number of visits, and outcomes of patients who undergo phone-based visits compared to office visits for thoracic oncologic surgery.
