This video showed right hepatectomy for recurrent hilar cholangiocarcinoma (CC) patient, which underwent extrahepatic bile duct resection. The inflammatory and protruding lesions in the posterior wall were seen. The right liver was mobilized and detached from retrohepatic vena cava. After parenchymal transection, right hepatic vein was divided and closed. There was no complication in the post-operative period and no tumor recurrence was noted in the follow-up period. Although the surgical technique for loco-regional recurrence of hilar CC is complicated, the second radical resection is possible and better survival outcomes can be expected for some selected cases.
