Short-term and long-term clinical outcomes of combined major vessel resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma: a propensity score analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

In the treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA), combined resection of important hepatic vessels remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare the postoperative complications and prognosis of combined and non-combined major vessel resections in patients undergoing radical resection for HCCA.

Methods

In this study, patients with HCCA who underwent curative resection between January 2007 and December 2018 were retrospectively enrolled. Postoperative complications and prognosis between the groups were compared using propensity score-matching (PSM) analysis.

Results

There were 310 patients included in this study. The portal vein resection (PVR) and hepatic artery resection (HAR) groups had a higher incidence of postoperative complications tha
