Q

Enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin

A

unconjugated bilirubin in blood -> enter hepatocytes -> conjugated by glucuronic acid -> excreted to small intestines -> turned into urobiliogen by bacterial proteases -> 90% excreted in faces, 10% enter portal vein, excreted in kidney

29
Strasberg Type B

30
Strasberg Type C
Transection without ligation of the aberrant right hepatic duct
31
Strasberg Type D
Lateral injury to a major bile duct
32
Criteria for resectability of cholangiocarcinoma
Traditional criteria: * Absence of retropancreatic and paraceliac nodal metastasis or distant liver metastasis * Absence of invasion to portal vein and hepatic artery ( *in some centers, en bloc resection)* * Absence of extrahepatic adjacent organ invasion * Absence of disseminated disease
33
Management based on Bismuth-Corlette classification for Klatskin tumors
Type 1 + 2: bile duct resection + HJ + regional lymphadenectomy Type 3: hepatic lobectomy + regional lymphadenopathy Type 4: multiple hepatic segment resection with portal vein resection vs palliative
