Surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma in the new era
Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery, 10/27/09

Lee SG et al. – Preoperative biliary decompression and portal vein embolization enabled us to reduce in–hospital deaths associated with extended hepatectomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Major hemihepatectomy offers an increased survival because of the higher possibility of curative resection than bile duct resection alone and parenchyma–preserving hepatectomy, but it still carries a certain mortality. Less extensive procedures can be conducted safely and are beneficial for aged patients in poor condition with a less advanced tumor stage if tumor–free resectional margins are obtained.
