The clinical value of applying portal vein resection and reconstruction in left trisectionectomy for treating advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma is approved, while it is still a big challenge for clinicians. One female patient suffering from abdominal pain and jaundice received treatment in the General Hospital of PLA in July, 2009. She was prelimiarily diagnosed with Bismuth type Ⅲ a hilar cholangiocarcinoma. A tube was inserted in the left lateral inferior bile duct to carry out percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). After the anatomic variation of the left bile duct was found, the diagnosis was revised as Bismuth type Ⅳ. A left trisectionectomy was proposed, and another PTBD tube was inserted in the right posterior bile duct.Combined portal vein resection and reconstruction and left trisectionectomy was successfully performed. The postoperation course was uneventful, except for the transient liver dysfunction and biliary-enteric anastomotic leakage.
