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.



We asked:
Patients  16
General Practitioners 200
Specialist Medical Staff    40
Nursing Staff  40


and received responses from:
Patients    16 
General Practitioners  68 
Specialist Medical Staff    23 
Nursing Staff  18 

The questions:
