Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effects of lymph node dissection (LND) on patients who underwent surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
- Researchers analyzed various studies that compared outcomes for patients with LND versus those without, focusing on those using advanced statistical methods to minimize bias.
- Results showed no significant differences in overall survival or complications between the two groups, except for patients with clinically node-negative ICC, who had better overall survival with LND and a potential trend towards improved disease-free survival.
