First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence tool can help surgeons perform safer gallbladder removal surgery. About 70 patients having laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be randomly assigned to receive AI guidance or standard care. The goal is to see if AI helps surgeons achieve a safer view of critical anatomy, potentially reducing the risk of injury.
