Indian Journal of Pediatrics. 2000 Sep; 67(9): 657-9http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/81959A retrospective study of 11 cases of choledochal cyst over a period of 10 years is presented. There were 8 females and 3 males in a ratio of 2.67:1. The classical triad of jaundice, mass and abdominal pain was seen in none of our patients. Ultrasonography was diagnostic in 9 out of 11 (80%) patients. Surgical procedures performed were, complete excision of the cyst with Roux en Y hepaticojejunostomy (nine cases), internal drainage of the cyst (one case) and excision of the extrahepatic cyst with Roux en Y hepaticojejunostomy in one case of Type IV choledochal cyst. One patient died in the immediate postoperative period. Others have remained well upto 10 years follow-up. We recommend total cyst excision with hepaticojejunostomy as the treatment of choice.engAnastomosis, Roux-en-YChildChild, PreschoolCholedochal Cyst --diagnosisDigestive System Surgical Procedures --methodsFemaleHumansMaleRetrospective StudiesJournal Article
