Abstract
A tumor thrombus complicating hepatocellular carcinoma developed in a 61-year-old male patient. Embolization of the right branch of portal v ein was performed 2 weeks before operation. Curative resection of the tumor was performed on by extended hepatectomy plus in situ hypothermi c perfusion of the liver and extracorporeal circulation. Postoperative course was uneventful until bile leakage occurred on the 11th postope rative day. A bile duct stenosis was diagnosed by cholangiogram, and h epaticojejunostomy was carried out, The patient recovered well without further complications. The pitfalls and technical problems encountere d in this case are herein discussed.
