Patients with choledochal cysts should be referred to specialised tertiary surgical units. Total choledochal cyst excision with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is the treatment of choice. Patients with previous inadequate cyst excisional procedures should undergo revisional surgery, to reduce recurrent symptoms and the risk of developing cholangiocarcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
