Objective To investigate the effect of combined or non-combined liver resection for T2a gallbladder cancer. Methods According to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, the patients with T2a gallbladder cancer admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2016 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected, then were assigned into combined with liver resection group and non-combined with liver resection group. The general characteristics, perioperative information, and prognosis of the two groups were compared. Results A total of 58 patients were enrolled in this study, including 23 males and 35 females; aged (64.8±11.1) years. There were 43 cases in the combined with liver resection group and 15 cases in the non-combined with liver resection group. There were no statistic differences in the demographic data, lifestyle, onset symptoms, preoperative combined diseases, and preoperative tumor markers between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the combined with liver resection group, the proportion of patients received bile duct resection was higher (P=0.013) and the operation time was shorter (P=0.045) in the non-combined with liver resection group. There were no statistic differences in the other perioperative informations between the two groups (P>0.05). A total of 12 patients had postoperative complications, including 3 cases of grade Ⅰ, 8 cases of grade Ⅱ, and 1 case of grade Ⅲa by Clavien-Dindo classification. All patients improved after treatment and were discharged smoothly. No patient was readmitted within 30 d after discharge. All 58 patients were followed up with a median follow up time of 29 months. During the follow-up period, there were 47 cases (81.0%) of tumor-free survival, 2 cases (3.4%) of survival with tumor, and 9 cases (15.5%) of death. There were no statistic differences in the overall survival and disease-free survival between the two groups by log-rank test (χ2=3.418, P=0.064; χ2=1.543, P=0.214). Conclusion Fromthe results of this study, for T2a gallbladder cancer, liver resection would not result in increased complications or longer hospital stay, but don’t obviously improve prognosis.
