For gallbaldder cancer patients with T1b or higher disease, radical cholecystectomy including partial hepatectomy and porat hepatic lymph node dissection (PHLND) is recommended. PHLND is a technical demanding procedure regardless in open or minimally invasive surgery.
Author presented a novel and standardized method to demonstrate the key techniques for PHLND with robotic platform with the following goals:
1. To help fellows and junior attendings to understand and to mast the skills for porta hepatis lymph node dissection in the open approach by demonstrating the key steps and anatomy.
2. It provided a road map for those surgeons who are interested in robotic radical cholecystectomy.
