Multicentre European study of preoperative biliary drainage for hilar cholangiocarcinoma

Indications for preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in the context of hepatectomy for hilar malignancies are still debated. The aim of this study was to investigate current European practice regarding biliary drainage before hepatectomy for Klatskin tumours.
