Abstract: Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) is a type of bile duct cancer with insidious onset and poor prognosis. Surgical resection is the only potentially curative treatment. The selection of surgical approaches and prognosis assessment depend on different classification systems and preoperative imaging results. This article reviews the progress in classification systems, imaging modalities, biliary drainage techniques, postoperative adjuvant therapy, future liver remnant insufficiency treatment, liver transplantation and resection extent for HCCA.
