Left hepatic trisegmentectomy for intraductal papillary cholangiocarcinoma: report of a case

Hepatogastroenterology. 1999 Nov-Dec;46(30):3087-90.

Abstract

We present a rare case of intraductal papillary cholangiocarcinoma in a 69 year-old man which was treated with left hepatic trisegmentectomy. The hepatic bile ducts were dilated by intraductal masses, which had extended into the intrahepatic bile ducts without involvement of the posterior inferior segmental duct (B6). The patient underwent left hepatic trisegmentectomy with hilar duct resection. The tumors in the posterior superior segmental duct (B7) were resected and biliary reconstruction was performed with a jejunal loop. Post-operative recovery was good, and the patient survived for 7 months after surgery.
