Research advances in the diagnosis and treatment of benign gallbladder disease / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Benign gallbladder diseases are common in general surgery practice, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the standard treatment for these conditions. With the widespread adoption of LC and the improved understanding of gallbladder disease, it is necessary to re-evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of benign gallbladder disease. Based on the latest expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of benign gallbladder disease, this review aims to provide an overview of the diagnostic and treatment strategies for benign gallbladder diseases. Specifically, it focuses on enhancing our understanding of the role of benign gallbladder diseases in the development of gallbladder cancer, the impact of congenital biliary anomalies on the diagnostic and treatment processes of benign gallbladder diseases, and the significance of the preoperative examinations.
