Abstract
Completed surgical resection is the only treatment to patients with resectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA). R0 resection is considered as a positive factor in long-term survive of patients. However, achieving negative surgical margins often ends in failure as the bile duct bifurcation is very close to the vascular inflow to the liver. Combined resection and reconstruction (CRR) of the portal vein (PV) and/or hepatic artery (HA), is introduced and has been performed widely. This paper focuses on this operation. Key words: Hilar cholangiocarcinoma; Combined resection and reconstruction; Portal vein; Hepatic artery
