Abstract:
There is consensus that oncologic extended resection should be performed for resectable incidental and nonincidental gallbladder cancer. The safety and feasibility of a minimally invasive approach to oncologic extended resection of gallbladder cancer has been demonstrated and is performed in centers of expertise worldwide. In this article, a systematic approach to the indications and techniques for a minimally invasive approach to extended resection for gallbladder cancer is detailed.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
