The “Expert consensus on radical laparoscopic cholecystectomy (2023)” (following abbreviations as “this consensus”) was formulated by the Biliary Surgery Group of the Chinese Medical Association Surgery Branch and the Biliary Surgery Expert Working Group of the Surgeons Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and was first published in the Chinese Journal of Surgery in April 2024. In this consensus, relevant experts discussed and formulated relevant recommendations on the operation process of laparoscopicradical resection of gallbladder cancer (LRRGC), and elaborated on many issues. We interpreted and discussed the safety and efficacy evaluation of LRRGC, the standardized operating procedures and technical key points in this procedure, as well as the surgical principles for reoperation of delayed diagnosed gallbladder cancer in this consensus so as to enhance readers’ understanding of this consensus. We also hoped that medical centers will make more attempts and research on LRRGC in order to standardize and promote the application of LRRGC.
