Abstract
Laparoscopic Treatment of Congenital Choledochal Cysts in Children
Highlights
A congenital choledochal cyst (CHC) is a congenital malformation of the outer biliary tracts that leads to the blockage of bile flow and jaundice
Type IV is a combination of fusi-form choledohus dilatation and cystic dilatation of the inner bile tracts
All five patients underwent a laparoscopic procedure without conversion
Summary
A congenital choledochal cyst (CHC) is a congenital malformation of the outer biliary tracts that leads to the blockage of bile flow and jaundice. If left untreated it causes episodes of cholangitis and due to long-term biliary hypertension results in the formation of biliary cirrhosis. In type one the dilatation occurs in the common bile duct and has a fusi-form. Type IV is a combination of fusi-form choledohus dilatation and cystic dilatation of the inner bile tracts. In both these types the dilatation expands to the intra- pancreatic part up to the pancreatic duct
