Gallbladder Cancer Treatment and Surgery

Our surgeons treat patients with both benign and cancerous gallbladder disease. The vast majority of benign gallbladder disease can be removed laparoscopically. The standard treatment for gallbladder cancer is radical cholecystectomy. Unlike a standard cholecystectomy, which removes only the gallbladder, this procedure removes part of the liver, as well as part of the common bile duct and its adjacent lymph nodes.
