Objective: To report the experience of surgical resection of Bismuth-Corlette type I and II hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Methods: From January 1998 and January 2008, 52 cases of Bismuth-Corlette type I and II hilar cholangiocarcinoma were operated on. The clinical data and long-term outcome of the patients was retrospectively analyzed.

Results: Of the 52 cases, 44 cases (84.6%) received operation, 28 patients underwent radical resection (63.6%) and 16 patients (36.4%) underwent palliative resection.Seven patients were resected on caudate lobe and other section and lobe of the liver; among them, 2 patients received combined portal vein resection and 4 underwent combined hepatic artery resection respectively. Eleven cases developed postoperative complications and another one died in hospital. The median survival was 33.2 months in radical resection group, and 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rate was 82.6%, 47.8%, 34.7%, respectively, which was significant greater than those in the palliative resection group (41.6%, 16.6%, 8.3%, respectively) (P < 0.05). The median survival was 16.7 months in the palliative resection group.

Conclusions: The radical resection is still the best treatment for Bismuth-Corlette type I and II hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Intraoperative pathology for resection margin, and combined liver resection, portal vein resection and hepatic artery resection can help improve the radical resection rate.

Background: In recent years, pure laparoscopic radical surgery for Bismuth-Corlette type III and IV hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) has been preliminarily explored and applied, but the surgical strategy and safety are still worthy of further improvement and attention.

Aim: To summarize and share the application experience of the emerging strategy of "hepatic hilum area dissection priority, liver posterior separation first" in pure laparoscopic radical resection for patients with HCCA of Bismuth-Corlette types III and IV.

Methods: The clinical data and surgical videos of 6 patients with HCCA of Bismuth-Corlette types III and IV who underwent pure laparoscopic radical resection in our department from December 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: The management of Bismuth-Corlette type IV hilar cholangiocarcinoma typically necessitates extensive hepatectomy, resection of the extrahepatic bile ducts, regional lymph node dissection, and reconstruction of the biliary tract; however, there is a high incidence of postoperative liver dysfunction and failure.

Methods: A 64-year-old male patient was admitted to our department after 1 month of escalating jaundice and abdominal discomfort. Upon admission, his total bilirubin was 334 μmol/L and his direct bilirubin was 221 μmol/L.

Quantified MRCP imaging data was used as a reference for design and preparation of a modified percutaneous transhepatic cholangio drainage (PTCD) tube. 3.0 T upper abdominal MR and MRCP imaging data of 2 300 patients treated from July 2015 to July 2020 at the Department of Radiology of the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were screened and a total of 381 patients diagnosed with biliary duct structures were identified.

Background: Surgery represents the only cure for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC). However, laparoscopic radical resection remains technically challenging owing to the complex anatomy and reconstruction required during surgery. Therefore, reports on laparoscopic surgery (LS) for HC, especially for types III and IV, are limited.

Background: The relationship between the course of the segment 4 hepatic artery and proximal ductal margin status in the right hepatectomy (H15678-B) for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate proximal ductal margin status according to the course of the segment 4 hepatic artery in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma treated with right hepatectomy.

Methods: Consecutive patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent a right hepatectomy between January 2006 and August 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.
