| Core Tip |
This editorial critically evaluates a recent study comparing laparoscopic and open surgery for complex hepatolithiasis. It highlights the laparoscopic approach’s advantages in recovery and wound outcomes alongside its longer operative time, and discusses the innovative use of Laennec’s capsule as an anatomical guide that represents a shift in surgical technique. The article further identifies current limitations and outlines necessary future research, including pragmatic randomized trials, detailed cost-effectiveness analyses, and direct comparisons between laparoscopic and robotic platforms. |
