Robotic Surgery Twice Performed in the Treatment of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma With Deep Jaundice: Delayed Right Hemihepatectomy Following the Right-Hepatic Vascular Control

Conclusions:Under the Da Vinci robotic surgical system, a programmed treatment can be achieved: first, the hepatic vessels were controlled gradually together with biliary drainage, which results in liver’s partial atrophy and compensatory hypertrophy in the other part. Then a radical hepatectomy could be achieved. Such programmed hepatectomy provides a new treatment for patients of hilar cholangiocarcinoma with deep jaundice who have the possibility of radical heptolobectomy.
