Abstract
Background: Despite in recent years minimally invasive approach to liver neoplasms is becoming a routine approach especially in dedicated centres and in selected patients, there is also a strong reluctance to the adoption of the minimally invasive approach for the treatment of gallbladder cancer (GBC). This scepticism is historically related to the fear of tumour dissemination due to bile spillage, tumour manipulation during laparoscopy, possible tumour peritoneal implantation, technical difficulties related to liver resection and to the achievement of an adequate clearance of lymph nodes.
