Liver & Biliary Flashcards
Most common morphology of hilar cholangiocarcinoma
Sclerosing/periductal infiltrating
Morphology associated with most favorable prognosis in hilar cholangiocarcinoma
Papillary
Which liver resections are favorable for laparoscopic approach
Tumors <5cm, segments 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6
Well circumscribed hepatic mass with a central scar and elevated neurotensin level
Fibrolamellar HCC
Management of incidentally discovered gallbladder cancer invading the lamina propria
T1a - cholecystectomy only
Management of incidentally discovered gallbladder cancer invading muscularis layer
T1b - extended cholecystectomy (non-anatomic partial hepatectomy of liver parenchyma surrounding gallbladder fossa)
Management of incidentally discovered gallbladder cancer spread to the serosa/connective tissue but no lymph nodes
T2/T3 - central hepatectomy with resection of segments IVB and V
Management of incidentally discovered gallbladder cancer with nodal/distant mets
T3/T4 - neoadjuvant chemoradiation -> central hepatectomy if response
Technique of open CBD exploration
Anterior longitudinal choledochotomy on the CBD, stone removal, then T-tube placed to prevent stricture
Type 1 choledochal cyst
Fusiform dilation of CBD
Management of type 1 choledochal cyst
Excision of cyst +/- RNY hepaticojejunostomy
Type II choledochal cyst
Extrahepatic diverticulum
Management of type II choledochal cyst
Simple cyst excision
Type III choledochal cyst
Choledochocele (at ampulla)
Management of type III choledochal cyst
Endoscopic drainage or removal
Type IVa choledochal cyst
Intrahepatic and extrahepatic cysts
