Objective To evaluate feasibility of laparoscopic radical resection and re-resection for suspicious and incidental gallbladder cancer.Methods We searched PubMed and other databases, reviewed relevant literatures and summarized from aspects like whether efficacy comparable to laparotomy and enough lymph node dissection could be achieved through laparoscopy, timing of reoperation for incidental gallbladder cancer.Results Laparoscopic radical resection and re-resection were theoretically and technically feasible, but its efficacy and timing of re-resection were controversial, and its long-term efficacy needed further discussions in multi-center and large-scale cohort studies.Conclusions Laparoscopy shows prospects of resection and re-resection for suspicious and incidental gallbladder cancer. Tentative explorations could be done in properly selected patients by well-experience medical centers and to achieve efficacy comparable to laparotomy is the fundamental principle.
