Core Tip
Core tip: This is the first report of laparoscopic hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (LHPD) for cholangiocarcinoma in the English literature. The patient was treated with laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy and right hemihepatectomy. The successful outcome suggests that LHPD is a feasible and safe procedure when performed in highly specialized centers and in suitable patients with cholangiocarcinoma.
