Here we presented a case with an incidental diagnosis of gallbladder cancer after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. After three cycles of chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin), we performed a robotic partial liver resection (4b/5), cystic duct resection, portal lymph nodes resection. The final pathology showed a T3N0 tumor with a negative margin. The video demonstrated the feasibility of a robotic approach to achieve adequate lymph node resection and liver resection. The patient recovered well and was discharged home on postoperative day 2 without drain.
