Abstract
Choledochal cysts are cystic dilatation of the common bile duct managed by
excision and hepatico-intestinal reconstruction. The gold standard after choledochal
cyst excision is reconstruction using the jejunum. With the advent of
laparoscopy the pendulum has changed toward hepaticoduodenostomy reconstruction.
We review the classification, diagnosis and recent management of
choledochal cyst.
