Robotic resection of Todani’s cyst type Ic

Abstract

Choledochal malformation is a rare congenital disease. The current standard of treatment is complete excision of the choledocal cyst followed by reconstruction of the biliointestinal continuity. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with repeated pancreatitis for Todani’s cyst type Ic. We decided to perform a robotic resection of the common bile duct and a hepatic-jejunal anastomosis. The robotic resection of the common bile duct followed by a hepaticojejunal anastomosis was a safe and feasible procedure.
