Critical view of Safety (CVS-WL)
Intra-operative Cholangiography (IOC)
Near-Infra Red Cholangiography (NIR-C)
Group CVS-WL (control group): the visualization of the biliary tree is achieved in white light, without the utilization of an intraoperative imaging technique, the CVS in white light was selected as the control group since it constitutes the actual recognized standard in clinical practice.
Group IOC: the visualization of the biliary tree is achieved with the help of intraoperative cholangiography
Group NIR-C: the visualization of the biliary tree is achieved with the help of near-infrared fluorescence cholangiography
