Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the Endograb system which is an internal laparoscopic retractor device. This retractor device is inserted into the abdominal cavity through one of the 5 mm trocars and obviates the need for a separate dedicated trocar for retraction. Therefore enables the reduction of the number of abdominal incisions in a laparoscopic operation.

Condition	Intervention
Cholelithiasis	Device: Gallbladder retraction


Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title:	Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of the Endograb: A Laparoscopic Internal Retractor Device

Further study details as provided by Hadassah Medical Organization:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Outcome will be either "success" or "failure". Success if the organ will be retracted adequately with the Endograb retractor. Failure if it will be necessary to add another trocar for inserting a retracting instrument. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

No adverse effects related directly to the use of the Endograb retractor. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
