Abstract Background Gallbladder carcinoma (GC) is a rare malignant tumor. Laparoscopic technology has revolutionized the reality of surgery. However, whether laparoscopic surgery suitable for GC not been clarified. We aimed to analyze safety, feasibility, and oncological outcomes in GC. Methods The medical records patients with treated at our hospital between January 2016 December 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent open compared. Propensity score matched analysis was performed balance basic characteristics two groups. Kaplan–Meier curves used describe compare overall disease-free survival rates Results A total 163 included. Cholelithiasis detected 64 (39.3%) patients. Seventy after propensity matching. group significantly better than terms operation time (p < 0.001), blood loss = 0.002), drain stay 0.001).
