Objective To present the surgical treatment experiences of congenital choledochal cyst (CCC). MethodsOne hundred and fortyfive patients in 152 CCC were analyzed retrospectively and followed in west China hospital of Sichuan university from 1964 to 1999. ResultsOne hundred and fortyfive cases underwent operation and 6 of them died after operation. The incidence of hepatocirrhosis within first year after birth is higher than those over one year old (P<0.05). Thirtynine cases underwent cystoduodenostomy or cystojejunostomy. One hundred and six children underwent cyst resection and biliary tract reconstruction (with single RouxY hepaticojejunostomy 48 cases, intussusceptive valve and rectangular valve to the line of RouxY hepaticojejunostomy 37 and 21 cases respectively). Seventyseven patients were followedup (means 4.68 years). Two of 3 cases with ascending cholangitis after single RouxY hepaticojejunostomy underwent reoperations with an intussusceptive valve added to the line of RouxY hepaticojejunostomy and the symptoms disappeared. All of them have a good outcome. Conclusion The younger the patients, the less severe the liver damaged, and its prognosis are better. The procedure that cyst resection totally and an intussusceptive valve added to the line of RouxY hepaticojejunostomy should be carried out early as soon as possible.
