Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and share the experience of Da Vinci robot assisted choledochal cyst resection in children. Method The data of children including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative details who underwent Da Vinci robot assisted choledochal cyst resection in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April 2018 to June 2022 were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 200 patients were collected in this study, 54 of whom were males and 146 were females. The male to female was 1∶2.70. The age was (46±33) months and the body weight was (15.77±7.10) kg. The main symptoms were abdominal pain (136 cases, 68.0%), jaundice (62 cases, 31.0%), abdominal distension (20 cases, 10.0%), and abdominal mass (23 cases, 11.5%). The diameter of cyst was (3.46±2.01) cm. There were 153 cases of type Ⅰa, 35 cases of type Ⅰc, 1 case of type Ⅱ, and 11 cases of type Ⅳ. The operation time was (179.9±10.3) min, the intraoperative fluid infusion was (397.4±26.4) mL, the intraoperative blood loss was (21.5±10.9) mL, the liquid intake time was (3.01±0.35) d, the solid intake time was (3.80±0.27) d, and the postoperative hospitalization time was (7.44±0.94) d. The intraoperative blood transfusion was performed in 4 cases (2.0%). There were 7 cases (3.5%) of postoperative complications, including 2 cases of biliary leakage, 2 cases of incomplete intestinal obstruction, and 1 case of anastomotic bleeding, which were improved by conservative treatment. Anastomotic stenosis occurred in 1 case, and the Roux-en-Y anastomosis was performed again. Biliary loop torsion obstruction occured in 1 case, which received reoperation restoring the biliary loop and closing the mesangial fissure. Conclusions From the results of this study, Da Vinci robotic surgical system can obviously reduce the difficulty of choledochal cyst resection in children. It has the advantages of safe, beautiful incision, clear exposure, rapid recovery, and less complications.
