Application of three-dimensional visualization technique in preoperative planning of progressive hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
CONCLUSION: For patients with progressive hilar cholangiocarcinoma, the optimized three-dimensional visualization technique can accurately demonstrate the dilated biliary tract system, provide a new standard to determine the presence of tumor and peripheral vascular invasion, help in establishing a reasonable individualized operation plan, reduce the incidence of bile leakage and liver failure after the operation, and improve the success rate of operation.
