Laparoscopic treatment of congenital choledochal cyst and hepaticojejunostomy with extracorporeal Roux-en-Y anastomosis: technical aspects and early experience with three cases.

A case of robot-assisted excision of choledochal cyst, hepaticojejunostomy, and extracorporeal Roux-en-y anastomosis using the da Vinci surgical system.

Choledochal cyst is a rare disease in the Western world, but a high incidence is noted in Asia. Complete cyst excision with Roux-en-y hepaticoenterostomy is the treatment of choice for choledochal cyst, which has been attempted laparoscopically with the advancement of laparoscopic experience. Recently, a telemanipulative robotic surgical system was introduced, providing instruments with wrist-t...

Robot-assisted complete excision of choledochal cyst type I, hepaticojejunostomy and extracorporeal Roux-en-y anastomosis: a case report and review literature

For Choledochal cyst type I, complete excision of cyst with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy anastomosis is the treatment of choice. It has been performed laparoscopically with the advancement of laparoscopic skill. Recently, a telemanipulative robotic surgical system was introduced, providing laparoscopic instruments with wrist-arm technology and 3-dimensional visualization of the operative field...

Laparoscopic total intracorporeal correction of choledochal cyst in pediatric population.

BACKGROUND The laparoscopic correction of the choledochal cyst is an attractive treatment option. However, even the skilled surgeons do not prefer the intracorporeal jejunojejunal anastomosis due to the technical difficulties. In this article, we present the feasibility of laparoscopic total intracorporeal correction of the choledochal cyst, including the retrocolic Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostom...

Robot-assisted Complete Excision of Choledochal Cyst with Hepaticojejunostomy and Roux-en-Y Anastomosis

Choledochal Cyst in an Adult: Congenital or an Acquired Clinical Entity?

Cystic dilation of biliary ducts, otherwise known as choledochal cyst, is an uncommon condition frequently present in infancy and childhood but increasingly diagnosed in adults. Until now, no unifying etiologic theory exists for choledochal cysts, but most literature would conclude they are congenital bile duct anomalies. This report discusses choledochal cyst in a 50-year-old female post-lapar...
