[Resection of extrahepatic bile ducts in cancer]

Resection of the bile ducts for cancer was performed in 9 patients. Indications for such operations are well demarcated tumors located in the zone of triple junction of the ducts. Radicality of surgery and improvement of its results are largely contributed by an extensive resection of the duct with removal of the cellular tissue, lymph nodes of the hepatoduodenal ligament with obligatory cholecystectomy. A reconstructive stage should be terminated by constructing hepatico-gastroanastomosis with a controlled transnasal drainage.
