Radical resection is still the only possible cure for gallbladder cancer nowadays. Rational procedures vary according to different TNM stages, locations and biological behavior of tumor. Diagnostic laparoscopic exploration offers the opportunity to identify peritoneal metastasis which may be negative on preoperative radiological findings. Besides, this can also minimize trauma to abdomen. Therefore, laparoscopic exploration is suggested in cases highly suspected of peritoneal metastasis.

Timing for reoperation is still controversial. Most scholars recommended that it should be proceed within two months after the first surgery.
