Bismuth-Corlette Classification<br />
Hilar <strong>cholangiocarcinoma</strong>s are<br />
further sub-classified based on the<br />
specific ducts involved<br />
Type I<br />
Type II<br />
Type IIIa<br />
Type IIIb<br />
Type IV<br />
Type IV is important because it<br />
involves both left <strong>and</strong> right hepatic<br />
ducts <strong>and</strong> therefore is<br />
unresectable.<br />
