3D HD Versus 2D HD in Cholecystectomy

February 26, 2017 updated by: Charlotte Fergo, Herlev Hospital

Three-dimensional High-definition (3DHD) Laparoscopy Versus Two-dimensional High-definition (2DHD) Laparoscopy in Cholecystectomy: a Clinical Controlled Randomized Double Blinded Trial.

The aim of this study is to compare 3D-laparoscopy versus 2D-laparoscopy with the use of HD resolution in cholecystectomy in terms of error rating, performance time and subjective assessment.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Conventional laparoscopy can be very challenging, especially with the requirement of converting the two-dimensional image of the operating field to a three-dimensional perception. This can potentially lead to a detrimental effect on the learning curve as well for the feasibility of the operation for the more inexperienced surgeon. In our hospital, the high frequency of cholecystectomy serves as a basis for the minimally experienced surgeons to explore whether three-dimensional laparoscopy provides a better ability for solving complex intraoperative tasks than the conventional laparoscopy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of errors during the dissection of the Calot´s triangle
Time Frame: Expected duration: 20 minutes
The unedited videos of the operations will be assessed according to GERT (Generic Error Rating Tool) by three surgeons, blinded to which optical modalities is used during the operations as done in a previous pilot study.
Expected duration: 20 minutes
