Abstract
Background: Carcinoma of the mid (MCBDC) or distal third (DCBDC) of the common bile duct is a fairly rare nosological entity in the West, accounting for 13–23% of tumours of the extrahepatic bile ducts. The surgical treatment varies in relation to the site: in the case of DCBDC the operation of choice is duodenopancreatectomy (DP), whereas for MCBDC there is still no unanimous consensus of opinion regarding the type of surgery. The prognosis of these tumours is, on the whole, better than that of proximal choledochus cancer.
