title: [Patient information in surgery].
abstract: In a prospective study 50 patients undergoing a hernia repair were asked their opinion about an information sheet which was given to them preoperatively. For 94% this paper is of help; for 82% the written information has to be clarified by an additional personal talk with the doctor. Another possibility, especially good for visualisation, is the video. At the hospital of Davos there are at the moment 7 clips available to explain the treatment and the aftercare after an operation or conservative therapy in traumatology.
