    Abstract:
    Major hepatic resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma is reportedly closely associated with severe postoperative complications. We performed a new limited resection that included total resection of the caudate lobe and anterior segment (ventral region of the right paramedian sector), and bile duct resection with hepaticojejunostomy in 3 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma that had not infiltrated the hepatic artery or portal vein. In all 3 patients, curative surgical resections were obtained and no serious complications were encountered. This new limited resection based on a reclassification of the liver may offer an effective procedure in limited patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
