Clinical effects in resection of congenital choledochal cyst of children and jejunum Roux-Y anastomosis by laparoscope.

OBJECTIVE

We compared the effects and complications in resection of the congenital choledochal cyst (CCC) and hepatic duct jejunum Roux-Y anastomosis by laparoscopy and open surgery.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

We continuously selected 156 cases of pediatric patients with CCC, which were divided into 70 cases of the laparoscopic group and 86 cases of laparotomy group according to the treatment methods. Then the success rate of surgery, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, intraoperative and postoperative complications was compared.

RESULTS

It was found that after 65 cases (92.9%) completed in the laparoscopic group and all completed in laparotomy group there was less intra-operative blood loss of laparoscopic group than that of the open surgery group. However, the difference of postoperative hemorrhage in two groups was not statistically significant (p >0.05). The intra-operative complications in the two groups were not significantly different (p >0.05); in the laparoscopic group, the postoperative complication rate was significantly lower than open surgery group (p <0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Laparoscopic resection of CCC combined with jejunum Roux-Y anastomosis has good prospects.
