Abstract:
Unexpected gallbladder cancer (UGC) is a sort of gallbladder cancer discovered during or after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) which was diagnosed as benign gallbladder disease before surgery. With the high incidence of gallstones in China, the number of patients with UGC increases as well.However, due to the lack of randomized controlled trials on UGC, unified treatment has not been established, and argues on how LC will influence the prognosis of UGC still exist. Surgery for gallbladder cancer is technically challenging. The extent of resection varies based on a number of factors, and controversy exists regarding what constitutes an acceptable resection. We believe that satisfying treatment results are based on the surgical techniques, acute evaluation of different cases and wisely-chosen surgical procedures. This paper summarized therapeutic strategies for UGC based on our clinical experiences.
