Experts talk about the surgical treatment methods for gallbladder cancer

In real life, many patients with gallbladder cancer will choose surgery to treat gallbladder cancer. Indeed, surgery is a very good way to treat gallbladder cancer . Here are some common surgical methods for treating gallbladder cancer.

Common surgical treatments for gallbladder cancer include:

1. After a cholecystectomy for gallstones or acute cholecystitis, gallbladder cancer was unexpectedly found in the pathological section, and the lesion was limited to the serosal layer below the gallbladder wall. Most scholars believe that such patients can be cured of gallbladder cancer by cholecystectomy, and there is no need for extended radical surgery. They also believe that even if surgery is performed to expand the scope of radical surgery, it may not necessarily change the survival rate and prognosis.

2. For patients who have been diagnosed with gallbladder cancer during surgery, whose lesions have invaded the serosal layer, with or without local metastasis, and who are still likely to undergo surgical resection, extended radical cholecystectomy may be considered to achieve the purpose of curing gallbladder cancer. Local resection of liver tissue around the gallbladder bed may be performed at the same time as cholecystectomy, with a range of at least 2 cm.

3. Gallbladder cancer has spread to the bile duct and has multiple liver metastases. Radical surgery is no longer possible. Such patients can undergo some palliative surgeries to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life. If there is obstructive jaundice, bile duct drainage is required to relieve jaundice and skin itching; if pyloric obstruction occurs, gastrojejunostomy is performed. This is also a common surgical treatment for gallbladder cancer.

The above is an introduction to the treatment of gallbladder cancer. I hope it will be helpful to patients with gallbladder cancer. Patients must choose the treatment method that suits them according to their actual condition and cannot choose blindly.
