[Tumors of the hepatic duct anastomosis].
Seventy-nine patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas were treated at the surgical clinic of the Charité from 1981 to 1988. Thirty-two of these patients suffered from Klatskin tumour. The diagnosis was made using sonography, CT, ERCP or PTC and angiography. Sixteen patients were considered inoperable. The other 16 patients underwent 12 resections and four liver transplantations. Two of these transplanted patients are still tumour-free, their survival times ranging from 2 to 6 years. The median survival time of the patients undergoing resection amounts to 22 months and operation mortality, 18%.
