ENDOSCOPY FRIENDLY RESECTION TECHNIQUE OF CHOLEDOCHAL CYSTS

The resection of a choledochal cyst was performed in two patients (22 and 31 years old, both type Todani IVa). Reconstruction of the biliary -intestinal drainage was performed by interposition of a 15 cm jejunal segment between the liver hilum and duodenum. In both patients, hepat ico-jejunostomy could be endoscopically evaluated 5-6 months after the operation, showing patent anastomoses without any signs of reflux or cholangitis.
