Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Surgical anatomy
  • Gastrointestinal radiology

Background:

  • Choledochal cysts (CC) are congenital dilatations of the bile ducts.
  • Surgical management of CC often involves excision and reconstruction.
  • Anatomical variations, such as accessory hepatic ducts (AHD), can complicate these procedures.

Observation:

  • An accessory hepatic duct (AHD) was identified intraoperatively via cholangiography during CC excision.
  • The AHD was surgically divided and subsequently reconstructed.
  • The reconstruction connected the AHD to the Roux-en-Y jejunal limb.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery.
  • Follow-up abdominal sonography showed no signs of biliary obstruction.
  • Liver parenchyma remained without signs of atrophy post-surgery.

Implications:

  • Meticulous reconstruction of a divided AHD is essential after CC excision.
  • Proper AHD management can prevent biliary complications and ensure favorable outcomes.
  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing and managing biliary anatomical variations during surgery.
