[Extended liver resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma]
Abstract
Liver resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma should be designed for individual patients, based on both precise diagnosis of cancer extent and accurate evaluation of hepatic functional reserve. Therefore we have developed various types of hepatic segmentectomy. Combined caudate lobectomy is essential in every patient with separated hepatic confluence. So-called extensive hepatectomy, resection of 50% or more of the hepatic mass, includes right lobectomy and right or left trisegmentectomy. Right lobectomy with caudate lobectomy is indicated when the progression of cancer is predominant in the right anterior and posterior segmental bile ducts. The plane of liver transection is along the Cantlie line, and the left hepatic duct is divided just at the right side of the umbilical portion of the left portal vein. Right trisegmentectomy with caudate lobectomy is performed in carcinoma which involves the right hepatic ducts in continuity with the left medial segmental bile duct. The umbilical portion of the left portal vein is freed from the umbilical plate by dividing the small portal branches arising from the cranial side of the umbilical portion. Then the left lateral segmental bile ducts are exposed and divided at the left side of the umbilical portion of the left portal vein. Left trisegmentectomy with caudate lobectomy is suitable for carcinoma which involves the left intrahepatic bile duct in continuity with the right anterior segmental bile duct. Liver transection is advanced along the right portal fissure. The right posterior segmental bile duct is usually divided distal to the confluence of the inferior and superior branches.
