Q: Why is there no laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder cancer? A: Laparoscopic technology is widely recognized for its small trauma in the treatment of gallbladder diseases. Especially for gallbladder stones and gallbladder polyps, laparoscopic minimally invasive treatment has long replaced traditional open surgery. However, laparoscopic surgery is not recommended for patients with gallbladder cancer, or those who are highly suspected of gallbladder cancer before surgery. This is because if laparoscopic surgery is chosen, the process of establishing artificial pneumoperitoneum or surgical access may cause tumor cells to be shed to the point of abdominal implantation and metastasis.
