Objective  To explore safety and efficacy of total laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods  From April 2016 and January 2017, 6 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma underwent laparoscopic radical resection in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were collected. The intra- and post-operative situation and the postoperative complications were analyzed. Results  The radical resections of hilar cholangiocarcinoma were completed laparoscopically in all the patients. There was no conversion to the laparotomy. The procedure was finished within a time of (231.3±94.5) min and with an intraoperative blood loss of (123.3±46.8) mL. The first postoperative exhausting time and the postoperative hospital stay was (2.7±0.3) d and (11.9±1.7) d, respectively. All the patients had the R0 resection and the numbers of dissected lymph nodes were 9.4±2.7. The postoperative complications occurred in 2 patients, they were all cured spontaneously in one week, and there was no perioperative death. None of patients had a local recurrence and metastasis during an average 8 months of following-up. Conclusions  Preliminary results of limited cases in this study show that with suitable case and skillful laparoscopic technique, laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is feasible and safe. Further studies are still needed to confirm benefits of this approach.
