Abstract
Gallbladder carcinoma is a malignant tumor that originates from the cells lining the gallbladder. It is a relatively
rare form of cancer but is associated with a poor prognosis due to its aggressive nature and late-stage diagnosis. The
incidence of gallbladder carcinoma varies geographically. Minimally invasive surgery, also known as minimally
invasive techniques or laparoscopic surgery, is a modern surgical approach that aims to achieve therapeutic goals
while minimizing surgical trauma and invasiveness. It involves utilizing specialized instruments and advanced
technologies to perform surgical procedures through small incisions or natural body openings.
