Core Tip

Core tip: Hilar cholangiocarcinoma accounts for approximately 50% of all cholangiocarcinomas. Until now, radical resection has been the most effective method for the long-term survival of patients with the disease. However, many problems have emerged in the field of hepatobiliary surgery over time, including complex surgical procedures, low resection rates, and postoperative complications. We have adopted the "multiple Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy reconstruction by formation of a bile duct lake" technique in the treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma since 2008, and obtained satisfactory short- and long-term results.
