A Study on 17 Cases of Choledochal Cyst

Abstract

The experience of choledochal cyst during the past 20 years was reviewed. The result was reviewed. The result was analized regarding the aspects of symptoms, diagnosis, and operative findings and procedures. Radiologic examinations, such as abdominal echogram, CT scanning and liver scintigram, are the most helpful tools in establishing the correct preoperative diagnosis. A review of Operative procedures has revealed that the excision of the cyst and Roux-Y hepatico-jejunostomy carries a mortality risk no higher than cyst-enterostomies, and with fewer post-operative complications.
