Laparoscopic hepatopancreatoduodenectomy for locally advanced gall bladder cancer
Mathews James, Raja Kalayarasan, Senthil Gnanasekaran, Biju PottakkatJournal of Minimal Access Surgery 2021 17(3):369-372Hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (HPD) can offer a survival advantage in selected patients with locally advanced gall bladder cancer (GBC). While the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive radical cholecystectomy have been recently documented, laparoscopic HPD for GBC has not been previously reported. A 73-year-old male with GBC infiltrating the bile duct underwent laparoscopic HPD to achieve R0 resection. The patient had an uneventful post-operative course except for delayed gastric emptying that impro...
