简要总结
Being able to predict the difficulty of a preoperatively can increase safety and improve results. However, a consensus must be reached regarding the definition of a cholecystectomy as "difficult". The aim of this study is to achieve a national expert consensus.
Methods A Delphi study was conducted. Based on the literature, a history of biliary pathology, preoperative clinical, analytical, and radiological data, and intraoperative findings were selected and rated on a Likert scale.
Inter-rater agreement was defined as "unanimous" when 100% of the participants gave an item the same the Likert scale rating; as "consensus" when ≥80% agreed; as "majority" when the agreement was ≥70%.
