About this study

This study is a restrospective review of charts, including operating room notes as well as operating room documentation of procedures. Currently there are numerous methods considered to be the Standard of Care in the surgical treatment of Cholecystitis, or Cholelithiasis, including Open Surgery, Laparoscopic, and Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery. This study retrospectively reviews the intraoperative and post operative clinical outcomes of Laparoscopic and Robotic Assisted Surgery at U.C. Davis Medical Center to: 1) establish the role of robotics in laparoscopic surgery, and 2) to assess the learning curve by surgeons.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Patients that have undergone robotic assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Exclusion criteria

Patients under the age of 18, or not choosing to have surgery.

Treatment and study plan

Cholecystectomy

Procedure

Single Port and Multi-Port approaches trans-laparoscopic approaches with or without the use of the daVinci Surgical Robotic System.

Other names: daVinci Surgical Robotic System

Primary outcomes

Comparing hernia rates between multi-port verses single port approaches.

Time frame: June 2004 through May 2015

Comparing multi port and single port approaches. Patients will be followed up under the standard of care model, normal clinical follow-ups required post surgery (10 Days to 2 weeks post operative) with additional clinical visits as required to monitor post operative complications (if any).
