Resumen
GARCIA-HERNANDEZ, Carlos; CARVAJAL-FIGUEROA, Lourdes; ARCHIVALDO-GARCIA, Christian y ALVELAIS-ARZAMENDI, Ariadna A.. Laparoscopic treatment of a giant choledochal cyst in a pediatric patient. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2021, vol.78, n.4, pp.350-355. Epub 23-Ago-2021. ISSN 1665-1146. https://doi.org/10.24875/bmhim.20000149.
Background:
The giant choledochal cyst has a diameter ≥ 10 cm. Although laparoscopy has been contraindicated, we present the case of a teenager with a giant choledochal cyst resolved by laparoscopy.
Case report:
A 14-year-old male patient with a giant choledochal cyst treated with hepatic-duodenum laparoscopic anastomosis.
Conclusions:
The average size of bile duct cysts treated by laparoscopy is 40 mm. Giant cysts should not be resected through minimal invasion due to adhesions and a restricted visual field. We report a case of a giant cyst successfully treated by laparoscopy.
