Cholangio carcinoma treated by liver split and resection

A case of cholangiocarcinoma at the liver hilum presenting with jaundice is described. Pre-operative transhepatic cholangiography, hepatic arteriography and splenoportography led to liver split, with successful resection of tumour and triple hepatico-jejunostomy. Despite tumour recurrence eight months of palliation were achieved. Current methods of treating the condition are discussed.
