The Role of Staging Laparoscopy for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Snapshot of the Current Literature.

Accurate preoperative workup is crucial to identify patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHC) who would have truly benefit from liver resection, avoiding it in patients with advanced disease or distant metastases. Staging laparoscopy (SL) may prevent unnecessary laparotomies in those patients with otherwise resectable disease, but evidence of its efficacy is scarce and inconclusive. We aimed to aggregate the available evidence dealing with this specific field of research to produce a snapshot of the current knowledge systematically reviewing the inherent literature. PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Sciences electronic databases were queried through December 2022. Inclusion criteria considered all articles reporting data about the role of SL for patients with a diagnosis of IHC. The main outcomes were as follows: overall yield and sensitivity of SL. A total of 5 studies including 119 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Overall, the yield of SL was 19.6% (11.4%-36%), and the sensitivity was 65.2% (55%-71%). The role of SL for patients with a preoperative diagnosis of IHC remains unclear. The lack of criteria and indications to perform SL for IHC raises the need for international consensus on this specific field of research.
