- Abstract
The aim of this study was to retrospectively validate a new system to predict perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) resectability. We hypothesized that when the left lateral section (segments II-III) duct confluence (LLC) is free, the left lateral section might be preserved for curative resection. When the LLC is invaded, vascular invasion is frequent and radical resection might often be impossible without complex vascular reconstruction.
