• Background Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma often involves the adjacent vasculature, including the portal vein and hepatic artery. Combined vascular resection and reconstruction of the portal vein is more common than vascular resection and reconstruction of the hepatic artery. Herein, we aimed to elucidate the long-term outcomes in patients who underwent vascular resection and reconstruction for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods Between January 2004 and December 2020, 106 patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma were grouped into the no resection ( n = 58), resection-portal vein ( n = 31), and resection-hepatic artery with or without that of portal vein ( n = 17) groups. Results There were no significant differences in morbidity and mortality between the three groups. The resection-portal vein and resection-hepatic artery groups had a significantly higher number of advanced tumors than the no resection group, but no significant differences were detected in the rates of lymph node metastasis and R0 resection between the three groups. The 5-year disease-specific survival in the resection-portal vein (37.6%) and resection-hepatic artery (26.9%) groups were poorer than that in the no resection group (47.8%), although the former groups had a significantly better prognosis than the latter group (7.0%). Multivariate analysis identified high preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen level (>5.7 ng/mL), intrahepatic metastasis, and non-R0 resection as independent poor prognostic factors. Conclusion Although the perioperative course in the resection-portal vein and hepatic artery groups was similar to that in the no resection group, the long-term prognoses were poor in the resection-portal vein and hepatic artery groups. Pre- and postoperative multidisciplinary therapy is required for patients with vascular resection and reconstruction.
