Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with known cholangiocarcinoma involving the left intrahepatic biliary system presents with progressive obstructive jaundice and imaging showing tumor confined to the left hepatic duct with insufficient remnant for reconstruction; the patient is admitted for definitive surgical management to remove the diseased duct and achieve local oncologic control, often as an elective inpatient resection. Typical codes: 0FT60ZZ
A middle-aged patient develops a symptomatic biliary stricture isolated to the left hepatic duct after prior hepatic surgery, with recurrent cholangitis despite endoscopic therapy; because endoscopic dilation has failed and infection risk is recurrent, the team performs a percutaneous endoscopic resection of the left hepatic duct to remove the strictured segment. Typical codes: 0FT64ZZ
A trauma patient with complex laceration to the liver and transection of the left hepatic duct is taken urgently to the operating room for definitive management; intraoperative findings require complete resection of the devitalized left hepatic duct without immediate reconstruction to control contamination and bleeding. Typical codes: 0FT60ZZ, 0FT67ZZ
