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 />
