Brief summary
In recent years, the trend is for the patient to participate in their care. The development of new technologies together with the opportunities to exchange information, control one's own health and the possibility of communication between the team and the patient have increased. This is a prospective study trying to know the real use of ICT (information and communication technologies) among our surgical patients, its ability to use it and the differences in terms of gender, age or social range between others
