LOS was shorter in the SR group (mean 4 days vs 6, p = 0.004). The KH group had 2 (10%) occurrences of chronic seroma and one bowel perforation (5%), while the SR group had one (8%) occurrence of chronic pain. Median follow-up was 26 months (range 13-78) for the SR group and 47 months (12-105) for the KH group. CONCLUSION SR is safe and effective in expert hands and provides promising preliminary results.BACKGROUND The aim of the present study is to analyze the outcomes of laparoscopic and open liver resections for (Intrahepatic CholangioCarcinoma) ICC in the modern era of laparoscopic liver surgery. METHODS Patients undergoing laparoscopic and open liver resections for ICC in two European referral centers were included. Finally, 104 patients from the open group and 104 patients from the laparoscopic group were compared after propensity scores matching according to seven covariates representative of patients and disease characteristics. Indications to surgery and short- and long-term outcomes were compared. RESULTS Operative time, number of retrieved nodes, rate, and depth of negative resection margins were comparable between the two groups. Blood loss was lower in the MILS (150 ± 100 mL, mean ± SD) compared with the Open group (350 ± 250 mL, p = 0.030). Postoperative complications occurred in 14.4% of patients in the MILS and in the 24% of patients in the Open group (p = 0.02). There were no significant differences in long-term outcomes between groups. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirm feasibility, safety, and oncological efficiency of the laparoscopic approach in the management of ICC. However, this surgery is often complex and should be only considered in centers with large experience in laparoscopic liver surgery.BACKGR
