Abstract
To explore the effectiveness and summarize the experiences of transumbilical single incision plus one robotic-assisted surgery surgery in the treatment of pediatric choledochal cyst. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 10 children who underwent choledochal cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy from June to December 2020 at Fujian Provincial Hospital. The mean age was (4.6±1.7) years (range from 2 years to 8 years). The mean weight was (17.1±3.8) kg (range from 12.3 kg to 25.0 kg). The Todani classifications were type I (n=6) and type Ⅳ(n=4).The clinical symptoms were asymptomatic (n=4), abdominal pain (n=3), and abdominal pain with jaundice (n=3). Ten cases of transumbilical SILS+1 robotic-assisted choledochal cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy were completed successfully. The average duration of operation was 204-227 min ((220.0±7.2) min), the mean intraoperative bleeding was (7.67±0.86) ml (range, 6-9 ml) without blood transfusion, average fasting time was (2.30±0.48) days (range, 2-3 days), the average hospitalization time was (4.70±0.67) days (range, 4-6 days) and the medical expense was (5.30±0.42) ten thousand yuan (range, 4-6 ten thousand yuan). Ten patients did not develop early complications such as acute cholangitis, ranging from 3 months to 6 months. Ultrasonography showed no dilation of ductuli hepaticus communis and intrahepatic bile duct occurred at the third month after surgery. With the development of minimally invasive techniques and enhanced recovery, the da Vinci robotic surgical system will be extensively used. Transumbilical SILS+1 robotic-assisted surgery has equal effect with routine robotic-assisted surgery. The incision is more subtle and excellent, but the operation should be taken by sophisticated surgeon.
