Laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision involves the
removal of a choledochal cyst that causes the hepatic or biliary duct to
enlarge, hindering the drainage of bile into the intestine. The abnormally
large duct is removed and the small intestine is pulled to the resected end of
the duct. This procedure is performed with a minimally invasive method
that utilizes a laparoscope (a small video camera) and small instruments
inserted through small incisions.

surgical alternative.

Laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision may be
performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and
completely unaware during the procedure.
Potential
Complications from Laparoscopic Choledochal Cyst Excision:
Possible risks following laparoscopic choledochal
cyst excision include infection, bleeding, anastomosis leakage and a negative
reaction to the anesthesia. It is also possible to experience damage to other
organs and respiratory complications.
