Excerpt
The application of minimally invasive techniques has been historically limited by the complexity of radical resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.
1 It is critical to achieve radical resection with clear margins while preserving vital structures is paramount because of the intricate vascular and biliary anatomy. The key question our research sought to address was whether three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction could facilitate a laparoscopic approach to this formidable challenge, potentially improving patient outcomes while maintaining oncological efficacy. …
