Article Synopsis
- The study investigates preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) and optimal bilirubin levels for patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) who are undergoing hemi-hepatectomy to improve surgical outcomes.
- It analyzes data from 83 HC patients over 11 years, finding that preoperative bilirubin levels significantly impact liver regeneration and postoperative liver health.
- Results indicate a bilirubin cut-off of 103.15 μmol/L, under which patients experience better liver recovery and fewer complications post-surgery, highlighting the potential benefits of PBD in certain cases.
