Core Tip
Core Tip: This study compared two surgical approaches for early gallbladder cancer and demonstrated that laparoscopic radical cholecystectomy provides superior clinical outcomes compared with open surgery. Specifically, laparoscopic radical cholecystectomy significantly improves surgical performance, promote postoperative recovery, reduces overall postoperative complications, alleviates surgical stress, and enhance patients’ quality-of-life.
