Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive background from basic to applied knowledge of surgical anatomy which is necessary for the surgical treatment of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) patients. Significant advances that have been made in the surgical treatment of CCA were examined. For instance, in-depth details are provided for appropriate preoperative assessment and treatment to optimize patient status and to improve the outcome of surgical treatment(s). Comprehensive details are provided for the surgical techniques and outcomes of treatments for each type of CCA with clear illustrations and images. This chapter also describes the role of minimally invasive surgery and liver transplantation in CCA treatment.
