Abstract
For patients with extrahepatic biliary tract cancer, surgical resection is the only therapeutic option offering a chance of cure. However, with its specific location surrounded by multiple viscera and major vascular structures, surgical resection for biliary tract cancer frequently requires advanced surgical techniques. To secure the safety of radical surgery in high risk patients, optimization of the condition of patient and adequate selection of surgical procedure is necessary.
