Key Points

The aim is to evaluate if 3D imaging enhances understanding of surgical procedures in patients needing sinus surgery.
Utilized patient-specific 3D CT reconstructions
Analyzed effects on informed consent and decision-making
Assessed patient satisfaction with preoperative counseling
Improved comprehension of the surgical procedure among patients
Enhanced shared decision-making between surgeons and patients
Increased satisfaction with preoperative counseling sessions

Implication

Endoscopic sinus surgery analysis shows improved patient comprehension and satisfaction with counseling, suggesting better decision-making.

Abstract
