"Liver and pancreas oriented" strategies for minimally invasive surgery of biliary malignant tumors / 中华外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Surgery of biliary malignant tumors is highly related to the liver and pancreas. The "Liver and pancreas oriented" characteristics are unavoidable challenges when formulating surgical strategies. In the development of minimally invasive surgery for biliary malignant tumors, a comprehensive understanding of the pattern of the biliary surgery can make innovation possible. Both the bleeding prevention in hepatectomy and the exposure in pancreatic surgery are the core of minimally invasive surgery for biliary malignant tumors. The relationships between the minimally invasive surgery and the open surgery, laparoscopic and robotic surgery, the biliary tumors and adjacent liver and pancreas are essential to the surgical the progress of the minimally invasive biliary surgery.
