Case-based management of block at the liver hilum and hilar cholangiocarcinoma (Bile duct cancer)
The video follows our webinar -Zoom webinar - gall bladder cancer - hilar cholangiocarcinoma - Multidisciplinary cancer management (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDNKc...) and discusses Case-based management of block at the liver hilum and hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The talk ends with a working ALGORITHM based on his enormous experience to manage these patients.
The case discussed has been actually managed by our team and was a very interesting one, so discussing it here. It brings forth the very rarely discussed point in the medical literature that the final histopathology may be benign after surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma or hilar bile duct cancer resection as it is commonly known.
The talk also gives a few CT scan results and ct scan images to help get a visual idea of the Bismuth Corlette classification as well as the morphological types of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. IT also summarises the Blumgart Jarnaging classification of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The selective role of preoperative biliary drainage is then discussed and this is followed by a wonderful and in-depth overview of the surgical management of hilar cholangiocarcinoma again with a significant focus on preoperative planning, optimization, future liver remnant assessment, and augmentation as well as preoperative biliary drainage.
The video is therefore a very nice update on perihilar cholangiocarcinoma and covers everything from diagnosis to perioperative planning and management to the issues of margins of resection and so on. So, Do have a look at the video to understand the disease and its management.
