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.
