The role of routine lymphadenectomy (LD) among patients undergoing surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains poorly defined. This study aimed to evaluate the role of routine LD as well as to quantify the impact of not assessing nodal station on disease-specific survival (DSS) among patients undergoing liver surgery for ICC. ⋯ Although Nx patients and N1 patients had comparable DSS in the short-term, Nx patients who survived past 18 months had a survival comparable to that of N0 patients. Lack of nodal staging may lead to heterogeneous and potentially incorrect prognostic classification of patients with ICC.
