This application is designed to help train students in evaluating the Critical View of Safety in laparoscopic cystectomy of the gall bladder. There are 30 cases with images of the anterior and posterior laparoscopic views of the procedure at the point of evaluation of the surgery. You rate those on the 0-2 scale as instructed. You can then review those cases and see the average scores from a selected panel of experienced surgeons and see how your scores compare.
