GECKO is a prospective, international, multicentre, observational cohort study delivered by GlobalSurg Collaborative. This will be on consecutive patients undergoing cholecystectomy, between 31st July 2023 to 19th November 2023, with follow-up at 30-day and one-year postoperatively. Mini-teams of up to five collaborators per 14-day data collection period will prospectively collect data at each participating centre. The primary aim is to define the global variation in compliance to pre-, intra-, and post-operative audit standards. The subjects will be observed and interviewed during pre-surgery hospitalization up to one-year post-surgery.
