The role of minimally invasive surgery in gallbladder carcinoma

*Emmanuel Ifeanyi Obeagu; Getrude Uzoma Obeagu

Gallbladder carcinoma is a malignant tumor that originates from the cells lining the gallbladder. It is a relativelyrare form of cancer but is associated with a poor prognosis due to its aggressive nature and late-stage diagnosis. Theincidence of gallbladder carcinoma varies geographically. Minimally invasive surgery, also known as minimallyinvasive techniques or laparoscopic surgery, is a modern surgical approach that aims to achieve therapeutic goalswhile minimizing surgical trauma and invasiveness. It involves utilizing specialized instruments and advancedtechnologies to perform surgical procedures through small incisions or natural body openings.
