A Grading System for Laparoscopic Visualization and Predicting Factors That Affect Visualization Level During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies: A Prospective, Single Group, Open Label Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cholecystectomy visualization for Cholecystitis. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Essential to laparoscopic operations is adequate visualization. Unfortunately there is no grading system to assess the degree or quality of visualization. The primary objective of the project is to develop a laparoscopic visualization scoring system. We also intend to investigate the effects of neuromuscular blockade agents on visualization.
