Comparative study of short-and long-term results in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma undergoing surgical resection: does the extent and side of resection really affect outcome?

Background: The surgical management of perihilar carcinoma (pCCA) is still subject of ongoing debate. To provide more clarity, this study was conducted to evaluate outcomes related to the side and extent of heatectomy in patients with pCAA.

Methods: A total of 32 patients with curative resection for pCCA were identified from our prospective database.
