[Personal approach in the surgical treatment of cancer of the gallbladder].
The part played by surgery in the treatment of gallbladder cancer is conditioned by the delay in diagnosis and the rapid spread of the disease to non operable structures rather than to any particularly intrinsic malignity. In the face of a clinically ascertained cancer or one recognized at surgical exploration, exeresis is essential if possible. Cholecytectomy completed by cuneiform hepatic resection and extensive locoregional lymphadenectomy offers adequate radicality with acceptable risk. Vaster operations have high operative mortality which is out of proportion to the results possible, 43 personal cases are reported.
