Systematic review and meta-analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic radical cholecystectomy for gallbladder cancer.

A total of 11 studies met the eligibility criteria with a total of 263 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection and 52 patients undergoing robotic radical resection for gallbladder cancer.

Compared to laparoscopic radical cholecystectomy (laparoscopic radical cholecystectomy), robotic radical cholecystectomy has shown to have adequate lymph node yield, no difference in mortality and morbidity rate, no difference in inpatient stays and no difference in overall recurrence rate.
