abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical feature, pathological stage, surgical procedure, postoperative recovery and follow-up results of 4 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 4 cases were successfully performed. No operative deaths and complications happened. Two patients died of recurrence at 17 and 40 months respectively. There were no port-site and abdominal wall metastases occurred.
