Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Medical Devices
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Interoperative cholangiography is crucial for biliary tract assessment.
  • Minimizing tissue trauma during surgical procedures is a key concern.
  • Existing tools for cholangiography may present limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a modified disposable clip for facilitating interoperative cholangiograms.
  • To assess the impact of the clip on the ease, speed, and trauma associated with cholangiography.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a modified disposable clip for repeated cholangiogram procedures.
  • Documented the ease and speed of obtaining cholangiograms.
  • Assessed the level of trauma to the cystic duct tissues.

Main Results:

  • Frequent use demonstrated that obtaining cholangiograms became easy and quick.
  • The modified clip minimized trauma to the cystic duct tissues.
  • The clip proved safe for use through both small and large incisions.

Conclusions:

  • The modified disposable clip is an effective tool for facilitating interoperative cholangiograms.
  • Its use leads to quicker procedures and reduced patient trauma.
  • The clip offers a safe and versatile option for surgeons.
