Core Tip
Core tip: The indication for radical liver resection in incidental gallbladder carcinomas depends more on the experience of the hospitals in liver surgery than on the tumor stage of the primary carcinoma. In addition, the recommendations of high quality guidelines seemed to be ignored in radical surgery in incidental gallbladder carcinoma cases.
