Self-reported and actual adherence to the Tokyo guidelines in the European snapshot audit of complicated calculous biliary disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Complicated acute biliary calculous disease poses clinical challenges. The European Society of Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ESTES) snapshot audit of complicated biliary calculous disease aims to make novel comparisons between self-reported institutional adherence to the Tokyo guidelines (TG18) and 'real-world' contemporary practice across Europe.

An anonymized survey was administered to participating sites.
