Abstract: A bile duct cancer known as haemocarcinoma, which develops where the left and right hepatic ducts meet, is a rare and aggressive form of bile duct cancer. It is also known as a klatskin tumor. Type 3A describes tumors that are found in the common hepatic duct or the junction between the left and right hepatic bile ducts. And it is the right hepatic duct. In order to carry out a minimally invasive resection of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, one must be familiar with both minimally invasive liver resection and reconstructive biliary surgery. Conclusion: An effective adjuvant therapy for this disease is resection. When resection is not feasible, either operative bilioenteric bypass or percutaneous transhepatic intubation can provide significant relief.
