Abstract    Tumor resection and biliary-enteric anastomosis are the two key steps of surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. The security of the anastomosis should be taken into account when radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is performed. However, it is more important that the anastomosis should be performed reliably in palliative surgical treatment of tumor, because the goal of surgery is to improve patients’ satisfaction and quality of life as much as possible.
