Refining Training Guidelines for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Safety Assessment: Expert Perspectives on “Unsafe” Practices

A multinational study involving 11 expert laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeons aimed to enhance the Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Critical View of Safety (LC-CVS OPSA). By analyzing ratings of “unsafe” practices, the study identified three major categories: failure to achieve critical view, suboptimal technique despite safe completion, and safe completion with potential future risks. Findings informed modifications to enhance the reliability of LC-CVS OPSA, offering valuable insights for training guidelines and formal assessment of learner proficiency in laparoscopic cholecystectomy safety.
