Various types of surgical consultations were evaluated, including new referrals, routine follow-ups, postoperative follow-ups, and mixed consultations (both pre- and postoperative). None of the randomized trials exclusively compared OVC with F2F consultations in the high-demand preoperative setting, or assessed patient information recall. Efficacy outcomes were reported by seven studies. Among these, three RCTs showed that OVC improved efficacy in terms of waiting time (8.2 vs. 20.7 min,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.01) and total appointment time (24 vs 71 min,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001, and 21.9 vs. 154.8 min,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001).
