Totally Laparoscopic Management of Choledochal Cyst: Roux-en-Y Jejunojejunostomy and Wide Hepaticojejunostomy with Hilar Ductoplasty

Abstract

Laparoscopic surgery comprising excision of the extrahepatic bile duct, Roux-en-Y limb formation, and wide hepaticojejunostomy with hilar ductoplasty appears to be feasible for children with choledochal cyst. When there is a stricture near the confluence of the hepatic ducts, laparoscopic ductoplasty appears to be feasible for the surgeon with an advanced laparoscopic skill set.
