Objective To investigate the long-term efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for gallbladder cancer.Method The clinical data of 52 patients with gallbladder cancer only underwent LC from January 1998 to December 2018 in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital were analyzed retrospectively.Results Fifty-two patients met the inclusion criteria were included, including 23 males and 29 females. The age was (67±12) years. Fifty-two patients were treated with LC because of gallbladder occupying or gallstone. Twenty-three patients were diagnosed as incidental gallbladder cancer after the surgery, while 29 patients were diagnosed as the gallbladder cancer before or during the operation. Eleven patients with T1a lesions received the close follow-up, the other 41 patients refused the radical operation due to the advanced age, severe underlying diseases or their own preferences. Five cases of postoperative complications were observed. All patients were followed-up for (40.2±33.8) months, 21 patients survived and 31 died. The dead patients had an older age, longer hospital stays, and later T stage (P<0.050) as compared with the living patients. The patients with T1a lesions had significantly longer survival time than those with T1b and above (113.5 months versus 39.6 months, P<0.001).Conclusions LC is a radical operation in T1a lesions. At the same time, it can meet the requirements of postoperative life quality for some special patients due to its safety and low postoperative complication rate.
