Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a retrospective cohort study designed to compare the outcomes of open surgery versus laparoscopic surgery in pediatric patients diagnosed with congenital choledochal cyst (CCC). The study includes children who underwent surgery at Guangdong Medical University Affiliated Hospital and Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between January 1, 2010, and September 1, 2024. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the surgical outcomes, including surgery duration, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and postoperative complications (e.g., bile leakage and intestinal obstruction), between the two surgical approaches. The data collected from the patient records will be analyzed to identify factors influencing surgical outcomes and to guide future treatment decisions for CCC in pediatric patients.

Inclusion Criteria: Pediatric patients diagnosed with congenital choledochal cyst based on preoperative imaging (e.g., ultrasound, computed tomography（CT）, or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography（MRCP)）. Patients who underwent either open surgery (open cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy) or laparoscopic surgery (laparoscopic cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy) for the treatment of congenital choledochal cyst. Informed consent for follow-up obtained from the patient's family or legal guardian. Exclusion Criteria: Patients lacking one or more key outcome measures, including surgery duration, hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of postoperative bile leakage, or incidence of postoperative intestinal obstruction. Patients with incomplete clinical data, such as missing sex, age, or other essential demographic information. Patients with coagulation disorders that may interfere with surgery or recovery. Patients with severe comorbidities or immune system disorders that may complicate surgical intervention or recovery. Patients who underwent non-surgical treatment (e.g., endoscopic procedures) for congenital choledochal cyst. Pregnant patients or those who are breastfeeding (if applicable to your study population).
