Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a fluorescent die and a special infrared
camera can assist with the identification of the important structures during laparoscopic
cholecystectomy. This finding may assist surgeons to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy in
less time and in a safer fashion than standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
