Laparoscopic bile duct resection with lymph node dissection for gallbladder cancer diagnosed after laparoscopic cholecystectomy

摘要

Introduction: Laparoscopic reoperation of postoperatively diagnosed gallbladder cancer is a technically challenging procedure due to inflammatory adhesion or fibrosis around the hepatoduodenal ligament and gall-bladder bed [1,2]. Here we describe a technique for laparoscopic bile duct resection with lymph node dissection in a patient with cystic duct cancer diagnosed after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
