Intraoperative time out to promote the implementation of the critical view of safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a video-based assessment of 343 procedures [PDF]
, 2021 Background: The critical view of safety (CVS) is poorly adopted in surgical practices although it is ubiquitously recommended to prevent major bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study aims to determine whether performing a short intraoperative time out can improve CVS implementation. Methods: Surgeons performing LCs at an
