Core Tip Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (hCCA) is a primary tumor of the liver with dim prognosis. The role of biliary drainage in curative and palliative setting has long been debated. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) as the most commonly used techniques. This review will highlight the available techniques, their indication, advantages or drawbacks, and also timing in the management of hCCA. In a preoperative setting, PTBD appears to win the argument as there is a lower risk of postprocedural complications and better priming for surgery. For palliative purposes, we propose ERCP/PTBD depending on the experience of the operators, biological and anatomy factors, and the presence of cholangitis.
