Abstract

In plastic surgery patient education is important but time consuming. It can be performed face-to-face or it can be computer based. In order to examine the merits of computer-based patient education, a research of the literature was carried out. The results of this search show that computer-based education is of great potential benefit. Especially in retaining information, informed consent and time management in the medical practice.
