Surgical treatment of gallbladder cancer

Surgery for Gallbladder Cancer

Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant tumor arising from the extrahepatic bile duct, including malignant tumors from the liver hilar area to the lower end of the common bile duct. In the past decade, the incidence of cholangiocarcinoma has increased year by year, and in some high-incidence areas, the incidence of cholangiocarcinoma has even doubled. Although the medical community is still exploring the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma in recent years, radical surgical resection of highly malignant cholangiocarcinoma remains the most basic means of treating cholangiocarcinoma.

1. Surgical resection is the basic method for treating bile duct cancer

The medical community generally believes that radical surgical resection is still the only chance for long-term survival of bile duct cancer. The treatment principle of bile duct cancer is resectable cases. First, surgical resection, combined with postoperative chemotherapy or traditional Chinese medicine to consolidate and improve the effect of surgical treatment. For advanced cases that cannot be resected, biliary drainage surgery should be performed to relieve bile duct obstruction, control bile duct infection, improve liver function, reduce complications, prolong life, and improve quality of life. In general, bile duct cancer surgery is complex, diverse, and difficult. It is the most challenging operation in abdominal surgery. The surgical method mainly depends on the site of occurrence of bile duct cancer.

2. Prevention and reduction of recurrence after cholangiocarcinoma surgery is the key

Biliary duct cancer is highly malignant, and radical surgical resection is the only way to treat it. However, due to the poor prognosis of bile duct cancer, it is recommended to take Chinese medicine before and after bile duct cancer surgery to prevent and reduce postoperative recurrence. Modern Chinese medicine taken before surgery can shrink the tumor, reduce the scope of surgery, and improve the success rate of surgery. Taking it after surgery can eliminate residual cancer cells and prevent recurrence and metastasis. At the same time, it also has the effect of inhibiting inflammation, accelerating wound healing, anti-inflammatory analgesia, infection prevention and treatment, and complications. Surgery and Chinese medicine treatment can greatly improve the prognosis quality and cure rate of bile duct cancer.
