Summary

Objective: Investigators aimed to evaluate the impact of a high resolution standardized laparoscopic (HRSL) cholecystectomy protocol on operative time and intraoperative interruptions in a teaching hospital.

Background: Interruptions of the surgical workflow or microcomplications (MC) lead to prolonged procedure times and costs and can be indicative for surgical mistakes. Reducing MC can improve operating room efficiency and prevent intraoperative complications.

Methods: Audio video records of laparoscopic cholecystectomies were reviewed regarding type, frequency and duration of MC before and after the implementation of a HRSL which included the introduction of a stepwise protocol for the procedure and a teaching video. After consent operating team members were obliged to prepare the operation with these resources.
