Summary
Laparoscopic extended cholecystectomy is a viable option for T3 gallbladder cancer (GBC), achieving the same resection extent as open surgery. This minimally invasive approach offers a safe and effective treatment for advanced GBC.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Oncology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Gastrointestinal Surgery
Background:
- Gallbladder cancer (GBC) traditionally contraindicates laparoscopic surgery.
- Recent advancements show promise for laparoscopic extended cholecystectomy in early-stage GBC.
- This technique is explored for T3 GBC, a more advanced stage.
