Can laparoscopic surgery be the preferred strategy for gallbladder cancer?

Gallbladder cancer, notoriously known for its high malignancy, predominantly requires radical surgery as the treatment of choice. Although laparoscopic techniques have become increasingly prevalent in abdominal surgeries in recent years, the progress of laparoscopic techniques in gallbladder cancer is relatively slow. Due to the anatomical complexity, technical difficulty, and biological features of gallbladder cancer that is prone to metastasis and dissemination, traditional open surgery is still the main surgical approach. This study aims to reappraisal the current state of laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder cancer by appraising clinical practice and research evidence. Laparoscopic surgery for various stages of gallbladder cancer, including early, advanced, incidental, and unresectable gallbladder cancer were discussed. The promise and limitations of laparoscopic techniques are systematically explored.
