Patient information and patient preparation in orthognathic surgery. The role of an information brochure a medical audit study. 1989

Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital De Weezenlanden, Zwolle, The Netherlands.

In a retrospective study on 166 patients who had undergone orthognathic surgery, the influence of an information brochure on patient information, satisfaction and dissatisfaction was investigated. Although the use of an information manual was appreciated by the patients and can be recommended, its influence on patient preparation for surgery was poorer than was expected. Verbal information by effective communication between the surgeon and the patient remains the key to patient preparation.
