Photodocumentation at Laparoscopy
G D Reid, J Parker, M J W Cooper & H F Joyce
This project was designed to establish the importance of photo-documentation at diagnostic or operative Laparoscopy. Do patients and their referring doctors regard images taken at the time of an operative procedure as being important, and are they helpful in educating both the patient and the GP about the findings following operation?
This project attempts to define the value of operative images from both the service providers and the clients point of view. It also seeks to address the value that patients attach to operative images, and any medico-legal problems that operative photography may raise.
