Context:

  • Choledochal cysts are congenital bile duct anomalies requiring surgical intervention.
  • The standard treatment involves cyst excision and reconstruction with an intestinal conduit.
  • This study evaluates the outcomes of Roux-Y hepaticoenterostomy in pediatric patients.

Purpose:

  • To assess the efficacy and safety of complete choledochal cyst excision with Roux-Y hepaticoenterostomy in children.
  • To report the surgical management and long-term follow-up of pediatric patients with choledochal cysts.

Summary:

  • Five pediatric patients underwent complete excision of choledochal cysts (four Todani type I, one Todani type II) with Roux-Y jejunal conduit reconstruction.
  • Diagnosis utilized abdominal ultrasound, CT scans, and ERCP. Symptoms varied, with only one patient presenting the classical triad.
