Résumé

The use of lymphadenectomy (LND) during resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is still debated, leading to differing practices in different centers and countries. The aim of this study was to assess such differences. A survey on LND for ICC was distributed to the members of the International Hepato-PancreatoBiliary Association (IHPBA) and the Italian Chapter of IHPBA (AICEP). Two-hundred thirty-four surgeons completed the survey (88% males; median age 46 years). Preoperative nodal staging was deemed mandatory/very important by 65%. Adequate LND was defined as hepatoduodenal ligament LND by 33%, LND at specific nodal stations by 28% and retrieval of > 5 nodes by 28%. The decision to perform LND was influenced by comorbidities (48%), chronic liver disease (38%) and satellitosis (32%). Most participants modify perioperative management in case of clinically positive nodes, 50% stating they would give neoadjuvant therapy. The role of LND in clinically node negative disease was adequate staging for 88%, survival benefit for 50.5% and clinical trials eligibility for 18.5%. Our survey confirms heterogeneity in the evaluation of role and extent of LND for ICC, how this relates to subjective perception of importance of LND, and need of a systematic approach in this area.
