Choledochal Cyst

Choledochal Cyst – Treatment & Care

Choledochal cysts are rare congenital abnormalities in which the bile ducts become abnormally dilated. These cysts can cause abdominal pain, jaundice, vomiting, and recurrent infections. If untreated, they may lead to serious complications such as pancreatitis, bile duct stones, or even cancer.

Comprehensive Diagnosis

  • Ultrasound
  • MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography)
  • CT Scan
  • Liver function tests

Expert Treatment

The standard and most effective treatment for choledochal cysts is surgical removal of the cyst followed by reconstruction of the bile duct to ensure normal bile flow. Minimally invasive or laparoscopic surgery is often recommended for:

  • Faster recovery
  • Less pain
  • Smaller scars
  • Reduced hospital stay
