Establishing Visualization Grading Scale on LESS Cholecystectomy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cholecystitis

In brief

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.
