This is a prospective pilot study conducted within otolaryngology (ENT) clinics in a tertiary hospital between July and December 2016. 22 patients planned for common elective ENT operations were given a self-administered one-page survey on the same day after preoperative counselling. The investigators aim to identify if there are any associations between perceived and actual understanding of information given during pre-operative counselling and patient satisfaction with the process.
As above and in later sections.
