Excerpt

A recent issue of Annals of Surgical Oncology contains a study that reports the perioperative and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic lymphadenectomy for biliary tract tumors (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer).1 Ratti et al. used propensity score matching to compare laparoscopic and open lymphadenectomy for biliary tract tumors, and attempted to isolate the lymphadenectomy-related outcomes from the concomitant hepatobiliary resection.1 They reported lower overall and lymphadenectomy-related morbidity in the laparoscopic group, while the number of retrieved lymph nodes and long-term oncologic outcomes were similar between groups.1 The authors, who are true experts in the field, should be commended for their efforts to push minimally invasive techniques forward in hepatobiliary surgery. …
