Purpose: Hepatectomy of segments 4a and 5 (S4a+5) is the recommended treatment for pT2 gallbladder cancer. However, gallbladder bed resection is also occasionally used. Using nationwide data from the Japanese Biliary Tract Cancer Registry and a questionnaire survey, we retrospectively compared these 2 methods of treatment.
Method: The study involved 85 patients with pT2, pN0 gallbladder cancer (55 treated with gallbladder bed resection, and 30, with S4a+5 hepatectomy). The prognosis and mode of tumor recurrence following treatment were analyzed retrospectively, with overall survival as the endpoint.
Results: The 5-year survival rate did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. Univariate analysis showed that bile duct resection and perineural tumor invasion were significant prognostic factors, but the extent of hepatectomy, location of the major intramural tumor, regional lymph node excision, and histological type were not. Multivariate analysis identified perineural tumor invasion as a significant prognostic factor. Recurrence occurred most frequently in both lobes than S4a+5 of the liver following gallbladder bed resection.
Conclusion: In the present study of cases of Japanese Biliary Tract Cancer Registry, it was not possible to conclude that S4a+5 hepatectomy was superior to gallbladder bed resection.

Emergency department trends for inguinal hernia and gallbladder disease before and after COVID-19 scheduled surgery interruptions: lessons for hospital capacity management.

Objectives: Postponing scheduled surgeries may alleviate emergency department (ED) crowding by increasing inpatient beds for ED patients but the impact of such measures are unclear. We determined if scheduled surgery cancellations for inguinal hernia and gallbladder disease during the coronavirus pandemic affected ED presentations, hospitalizations, and complications.
Methods: This database review included Albertans ≥ 18 with ED presentations for inguinal hernia and gallbladder disease from March 1, 2018 to May 31, 2022.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is currently the gold standard of care for managing gallstone disease. The time taken to perform LC depends on both patient-related and surgeon-related factors. Recognizing factors associated with difficult LC (DLC) can aid in appropriate surgeon selection and judicious scheduling of cases.

Background: Although T2 gallbladder cancer (GBC) incidentally diagnosed after cholecystectomy requires additional resection, the surgical approaches are technically difficult due to inflammatory adhesion or fibrosis around the hepatoduodenal ligament and gallbladder bed. In this study, we sought to compare the surgical and oncologic outcomes of open and minimally invasive reoperation for postoperatively diagnosed T2 GBC.
Study Design: Patients who underwent open (n = 110) and laparoscopic (n = 38) reoperation for T2 GBC between November 2004 and October 2022 at five tertiary referral centers were included in this multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Background: Gallbladder cancer is a rare disease with poor prognosis, for which surgical resection is considered the only curative treatment. The widespread adoption of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for benign biliary diseases has led to an increased incidence of postoperatively diagnosed gallbladder cancer. Several studies have proposed that tumors exceeding stage T2 require additional resection.

Background: Primary solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the gallbladder are rare. Here, we report the case of a patient who underwent surgical treatment for a primary SFT originating in the gallbladder.
Case Presentation: A 48-mm gallbladder tumor was detected in a 70-year-old man using abdominal ultrasonography at a primary hospital, and he was subsequently referred to our department.
