Comparative study of the surgical treatment for supraduodenal distal cholangiocarcinoma and Bismuth-Corlette type I hilar cholangiocarcinoma / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the surgical efficacy and prognosis of supraduodenal distal cholangiocarcinoma (SDC) and Bismuth-Corlette type I hilar cholangiocarcinoma (BIC), and to explore the clinical characteristics of cholangiocarcinoma at different sites.Methods:The clinical data of 33 patients with SDC and 25 patients with BIC undergoing surgical treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from Jan 2009 to Dec 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:In the BIC group, four patients (16.0%) had combined caudate lobectomy, while in SDC group no caudate lobectomy was needed ( P=0.030). The incidence of pancreatic fistulae in SDC group and BIC group was 18.2% (6/33) and 0 (0/25), respectively ( P=0.032). The cumulative survival rates 1, 3, and 5 years after operation were 94.0%, 54.5%, and 30.3% in SDC group and 88.0%, 28.0%, and 16.0% in BIC group, respectively ( P=0.045). Univariate analysis showed that location of cholangiocarcinoma, residual status and AJCC stage were correlated with postoperative prognosis of cholangiocarcinoma patients. Multivariate analysis showed that BIC, non-R 0 resection and AJCC stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ were independent risk factors for overall survival after surgery. Conclusion:The overall survival rate of SDC patients after radical surgical resection was significantly higher than that of the BIC group.
