Subjects were recruited from otolaryngology patients undergoing surgery at a tertiary hospital. They were randomised to a conventional face-to-face interaction with their surgeon or a videoconference call via tablet computer. Afterwards, subjects and surgeons completed questionnaires about the experience. Various time points in patient flow were also recorded. Thirty-one patients were enrolled and 25 completed the study; five surgeons participated. The mean overall patient satisfaction scores were similar in the face-to-face and videoconferencing groups (9.88 and 9.89, respectively), as were mean interaction times (119 and 82\u2009s, respectively); neither difference was significant. The mean waiting times in the pre-operative holding area were not significantly different between the groups. Surgeons were satisfied with the videoconferencing and 60% indicated they were somewhat likely to incorporate the technology into their daily practice. Overall patient satisfaction with a pre-operative patient-surgeon interaction via videoconferencing did not differ significantly from that for a conventional face-to-face discussion. It is feasible to incorporate videoconferencing into a busy surgical practice and there is the potential for improved efficiency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1357633x14537759","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,7]],"date-time":"2014-06-07T02:06:09Z","timestamp":1402106769000},"page":"267-271","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Videoconferencing for the pre-operative interaction between patient and surgeon"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Anthony G","family":"Del Signore","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rajan","family":"Dang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arjun","family":"Yerasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alfred M","family":"Iloreta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin D","family":"Malkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.333125106"},{"key":"bibr2-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10278-012-9560-9"},{"key":"bibr3-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10916-012-9903-6"},{"key":"bibr4-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MAO.0b013e318278c05d"},{"key":"bibr5-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sder.2012.06.007"},{"key":"bibr6-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/00000539-199804000-00039"},{"key":"bibr7-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ane.0b013e31819775cd"},{"key":"bibr8-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/tmj.2005.11.102"},{"key":"bibr9-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/tmj.2007.0101"},{"key":"bibr10-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/jtt.2009.003003"},{"key":"bibr11-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/tmj.2006.12.341"},{"key":"bibr12-1357633X14537759","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/153056204773644535"}],"container-title":["Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1357633X14537759","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/1357633X14537759","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1357633X14537759","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T03:09:09Z","timestamp":1777691349000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1357633X14537759"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,6]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1357633X14537759"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1357633x14537759","relation":{},"ISSN":["1357-633X","1758-1109"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1357-633X","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1109","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,6]]}}}
