Newest firstBile duct perforation is a rare, serious complication of congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). While traditionally managed with a two-stage surgical approach, recent reports suggest that one-stage, minimally invasive approaches may be feasible. We present the case of a 13-month-old female who developed bile duct perforation associated with a protein plug in the common channel. Following the correction of coagulopat…
Open article record in new tab ↗Robot-assisted surgery is increasingly being utilized for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD); however, limited data exist on its feasibility across age groups, particularly for bile ductoplasty and intrapancreatic bile duct (IPBD) resection. This was a retrospective cohort study that compared the outcomes of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic CBD surgery in 159 patients (Rob group: 57; Lap group: 102) treated bet…
Background Congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) is a rare anomaly often treated surgically, yet postoperative complications remain a concern. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, timing, and risk factors of such complications after CBD surgery. Methods A retrospective review was conducted on 184 patients with CBD who underwent either open or laparoscopic surgery, with a mean follow-up of 9 years. The analysi…
Background Resection of the extrahepatic bile duct including the gallbladder and the dilated segment, is a widely accepted surgical concept in congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) in both adult and pediatric surgeons. However, owing to the existence of various types of CBD and differences in the extent of dilatation, no consensus has been reached regarding the appropriate resection margins. Methods Consensus statem…
Background/purpose We evaluated the minimally invasive surgery for congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) in adults and children and analyzed the surgical outcomes, especially in children aged <6 years. Methods Characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients with CBD who underwent minimally invasive surgery at our hospital between 2013 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Overall, 129 patients (89 childr…
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in pediatric patients with pancreaticobiliary diseases. Methods A retrospective review was performed on patients who underwent ERCP for the treatment of biliary tract disease and detailed examination of pancreatitis at our institution from January 1999 to December 2020. Results ERCP was perform…
Bile duct and anastomotic strictures and intrahepatic stones are common postoperative complications of congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). We performed double-balloon endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (DBERC) for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes after radical surgery. We focused on the effectiveness of DBERC for the treatment of postoperative complications of CBD patients. Bile duct and anastomotic strictu…
