Injecting indocyanine green into the Glisson pedicle in a patient with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma allowed accurate tracing of hepatic lymphatic drainage area during laparoscopic surgery. The technique enabled identification and dissection of regional lymph nodes, providing a potential method for precise lymph node mapping in liver cancer surgery.

Liver transplantation gave better 5-year survival than liver resection in combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, including tumors within UCSF criteria.
Robotic liver resection using a close-to-open forceps technique was associated with no bile leakage and a shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic resection, even though more complex resections were performed in the robotic group.
A close-to-open cutting method was used for robotic liver resection, with no bile leaks and shorter hospital stays than after laparoscopy.
