Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Choledochal cysts are rare congenital dilations of the bile duct system.
  • Todani's classification system categorizes choledochal cysts into distinct types based on morphology.
  • Adult presentations of choledochal cysts, particularly type I, require specific management strategies.

Observation:

  • A case of adult-onset type I choledochal cyst was identified.
  • The patient presented with a congenital dilatation of the bile duct.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the choledochal cyst was performed.
  • A Roux-en-Y hepatic-jejunostomy was utilized for reconstruction.
  • This surgical technique effectively achieved pancreaticobiliary disconnection.

Implications:

  • Hepatic-jejunostomy Roux-en-Y is a recommended treatment for type I choledochal cysts in adults.
  • The procedure significantly reduces the risk of developing pancreatitis.
  • Effective management lowers the long-term risk of biliary malignancy.
