Influence of surgical margin width on survival rate after resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Hepatectomy is the best treatment for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) at present, but there has been controversy about the width of surgical margins. In this study, we systematically investigated the effects of different surgical margin widths on the prognosis of patients with ICC undergoing hepatectomy.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data sources

PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases were systematically searched from inception to June 2022.

Eligibility criteria

Cohort studies reported in English with patients who underwent negative marginal (R0) resection were included. The effects of surgical margin width on overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with
