AbstractBackgroundLymph node (LN) metastases are a major negative prognostic factor for peri-hilar cholangiocarcinoma (PCC). Prognostic significance of the extent of LN dissection, number of metastatic LN and the lymph node ratio (LNR) are still under debate.AimsThe aims of the present study were to evaluate the prognostic value of the LN status, the total number of LNs evaluated and LNR in PCC.MethodsBetween 1990 and 2008, 62 patients with PCC submitted to surgical resection with curative intent were retrospectively evaluated. Number and status of harvested LN were recorded.ResultsIn 53 patients (85.4%) regional lymphadenectomy was performed. Median number of LNs examined was 7 (range 1–25). Median survival was 41.9 months in patients with...
