ABSTRACT

At the outset, it is important to realize that in general, patients and/or parents have little or no clinical background, what you are going to explain to them is new and strange, therefore, it is essential to talk in terms that they can understand rather than confuse them with clinical or anatomical terms. However, it is important not to talk down to the patient. Today, many patients may carry out a prior search on the Internet and have a surprising amount of information on the subject.
