Laparoscopic surgery comprising excision of the extrahepatic bile duct, Roux-en-Y limb formation, and wide hepaticojejunostomy with hilar ductoplasty appears to be feasible for children with choledochal cyst. When there is a stricture near the confluence of the hepatic ducts, laparoscopic ductoplasty appears to be feasible for the surgeon with an advanced laparoscopic skill set.

These findings suggest that ARFI measurement may be a reliable method for predicting the severity of fibrosis after a Kasai operation.
