The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of using a video laryngeal mask for airway management in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The investigators will compare the time required to secure the airway when inserting a video laryngeal mask (LMA) versus performing endotracheal intubation.
