Anatomic observations and etiologic and surgical considerations in choledochal cyst

Pancreatitis complicated with dilated choledochal remnant after congenital choledochal cyst excision

“…As the pancreatic duct lies close to the intrapancreatic cyst wall, there is a risk of injury to the pancreatic duct when removing the bottom of the cyst buried in the pancreatic parenchyme during surgery. Some authors recommend partial cyst excision leaving behind the intrapancreatic portion of the cyst, to avoid pancreatic injury [8][9][10]. However, others propose complete excision of the cyst including the portion buried in the pancreas [11].…”

Diagnostic impact of computed tomography cholangiography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography on pancreaticobiliary maljunction

“…Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is a congenital biliary anomaly commonly associated with congenital biliary dilatation and defined as an anatomical maljunction of the bile and pancreatic ducts outside the duodenal wall forming a long, common channel [1,2]. Freed from the influence of the sphincter of Oddi, pancreatic juice can regurgitate into the biliary tree and bile juice can also enter the pancreatic duct.…”

Pancreatitis After a Primary and Secondary Excision of Congenital Choledochal Cysts

“…Some authors recommended a partial cyst excision, thus leaving behind the intrapancreatic portion of the cyst, to avoid pancreatic injury. [10][11][12] . However, others have proposed a complete excision of the cyst including the portion buried in the pancreas.…”
