This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
TD resection increases lymph node yield but is associated with higher rates of chyle leakage, without a significantly improved overall survival. TD ligation does not significantly affect oncological or surgical outcomes compared to TD preservation. A higher grade of evidence is needed to determine the definitive oncological and surgical impact of TD management strategies.
