Summary

Laparoscopic mucosectomy is a safe and effective technique for excising large choledochal cysts, simplifying the procedure and avoiding injury to surrounding structures. This minimally invasive approach offers a viable alternative to open surgery for complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Pediatric surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic excision of choledochal cysts is challenging for large cysts due to risks of injuring surrounding structures.
  • Open surgery utilizes mucosectomy for large, adherent cysts, a concept adaptable to laparoscopic approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic mucosectomy for large choledochal cysts.
  • To assess the efficacy of this technique in simplifying dissection and improving patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Laparoscopic mucosectomy was performed on 5 patients with large choledochal cysts over 5 years.
  • The procedure involved operative cholangiography, cyst opening, mucosal dissection, and hepatico-duodenostomy.

Laparoscopic Choledochal Cyst Excision and Roux-en-Y Choledochojejunostomy in Adults

Published on: February 28, 2025

Main Results:

  • The technique was successful in all 5 patients, with one conversion to open surgery due to difficult hepatico-duodenostomy.
  • Operative time averaged 140 minutes. Follow-up showed symptom relief with no recurrence of cholangitis or jaundice.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic mucosectomy is a safe and easily performed procedure for large choledochal cysts.
  • It effectively avoids difficult dissections of adherent cysts from vital surrounding structures.
