Study of Peri-operative and Acute Outcomes After Robotic-assisted Cholecystectomy

The regular hours cohort includes cholecystectomies performed during the day shift at the Institution during Monday through Friday, not inclusive of national holidays.

The after hours cohort includes cholecystectomies performed outside of the day shift at the Institution during Monday through Friday, on the weekend, or during a national holiday.

With the patient under general anesthesia, several small incisions are made in the abdomen. Ports are placed, the abdomen is insufflated, and the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System (Intuitive) is docked to the patient and used to complete the cholecystectomy according to the surgeon's standard of care.
