[Guideline for quality control of laparoscopic radical resection of biliary tract malignancies(2026 edition)].

With the development and accumulated experience in minimally invasive techniques, laparoscopic radical resection for biliary tract cancers has been reported with an increasing trend annually. The procedure is characterized by its complexity and technical demands, and the quality of surgery is directly correlated with patient outcomes. When performed in a standardized and high-quality manner, benefits could be obtained from the perspective of enhanced recovery after surgery, enabling earlier initiation of subsequent treatments. Conversely, non-standardized implementation may adversely affect surgical safety and therapeutic efficacy. For this purpose, this guideline for quality control of the surgical procedure was discussed and formulated by the Branch of Biliary Surgery, Chinese Society of Surgery, Chinese Medical Association and the Biliary Surgery Expert Working Group of the Surgeon Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association. Current guideline aims to provide guidance for the standardized and orderly implementation of laparoscopic radical resection for biliary tract cancers, addressing multiple dimensions such as indications, surgical safety and efficacy, and perioperative quality control.
