Accurate preoperative radiological staging of biliary cancers remains difficult. Despite the improvement in imaging techniques, a number of patients with biliary cancers who undergo laparotomy are ultimately found to have unresectable diseases. The goals of staging laparoscopy (SL) are to rule out metastatic and locally advanced unresectable diseases and better define locally advanced unresectable diseases. This study evaluates the efficiency of SL in ruling out unresectable disease in a subset of biliary cancers.
