Choledochal Cyst Excision

Definition

Choledochal cyst excision is a surgical procedure performed to remove a choledochal cyst, which is an abnormal dilation of the bile ducts. This condition can lead to complications such as infection, pancreatitis, or malignancy if left untreated. The surgery involves removing the affected portion of the bile duct and reconstructing the biliary system to ensure proper bile flow.
