What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of Procedures Completed With Successful Endoscopic Visualization.
The goal of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of endoscopic visualization during a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy procedure using an endoscope inserted transvaginally through a steerable flex trocar. The number of subjects in whom the procedure was completed with endoscopic visualization was recorded.
Measured: Assessed intra-operatively
