Objective
To investigate the strategy of treatment and prevention of hemorrhage after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Method
Reviewing the related literatures at home and abroad in recent years, to summarize the progress of treatment and prevention of hemorrhage after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Results
We should clear the postoperative bleeding time, extent, cause, and location, to help the clinician to choose the appropriate timing of intervention and treatment. The patients with early hemorrhage and mild degree hemorrhage could be treated conservatively. If patients with severe hemorrhage and hemodynamic disorders, surgical intervention must be decisive. Patients with late hemorrhage would have serious consequences, and these patients should receive interventional or surgical treatment as early as possible.
Conclusions
For patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma after radical resection, doctors need to do accurate preoperative evaluation, meticulous operation, and intensive management after operation, to reduce the incidence of hemorrhage after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. If the postoperative hemorrhage occurs, the cause, location, time, and degree of hemorrhage should be clearly defined to facilitate clinicians to make rapid clinical decisions and to develop treatment programs.
