To review the resectability criteria for Hilar cholangiocarcinoma and how cross-sectional imaging impacts surgical planning To review the hepatic hilar anatomy, biliary and vascular variants that impact surgical planning, and the Bismuth-Corlette classification. The structured reporting for the pre-operative assessment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Hilar Biliary Anatomy Resectability Criteria for Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Biliary and vascular variants that impact surgical planning Bismuth-Corlette Classification of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma Staging of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma Imaging Technique and Protocol Structured reporting for the preoperative assessment of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma

The major teaching points of this exhibit are: The role of imaging in the preoperative evaluation of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma. The resectability criteria for Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma and how biliary and vascular variants impact surgical planning The key elements that must be addressed in the Radiology report emphasizing a structured reporting format
