U.S., March 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06895200) titled 'Smart Intraoperative Reminder to Implement Safety Principles in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy' on March 17.
Brief Summary: The Critical View of Safety (CVS) is universally recommended to prevent bile duct injuries in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, CVS is underutilized and bile duct injuries are not decreasing. The CVS-Notifier SaMD (Software as a Medical Device) reminds surgeons to verify the CVS before dividing the cystic duct, as recommended by guidelines. It is hypothesized that this systematic and timely reminder could improve the implementation of CVS without disturbing surgical workflows.
