Highlight Iwashita and Inomata present the findings of a preliminary study regarding laparoscopic narrow‐band imaging observations of gallbladder carcinoma – a novel intraoperative diagnostic method that can indicate the depth of cancer invasion. They propose that this approach can improve intraoperative diagnostic performance and aid the selection of optimal therapeutic strategies.
