Abstract

Background

Minimally invasive surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains challenging, especially in advanced patients.

Patient and Method

A 66-year-old male was diagnosed with stage II ICC after a comprehensive evaluation and was scheduled for laparoscopic exploration and left hepatectomy.

Results

The pure laparoscopic left hepatectomy was completed in 240 min, employing a no-touch en bloc technique and lymphadenectomy skeletonization. The patient was discharged 6 days after the operation without any complications and received gemcitabine and cisplatin treatment postoperatively. There was no recurrence during 14 months of follow-up.

Conclusions

Our experience demonstrates that when utilizing the no-touch en bloc technique, standardized lymphadenectomy through skeletonization, and effective control of bleeding, surgeons with extensive expertise in laparoscopic hepatectomy can achieve results comparable to open surgery.
