Surgical Treatment of Choledocal Cyst with Choledocolithiasis

Abstract

Choledochocele is also known as Todani type III cyst or intraduodenal diverticulum and represents only 4% of all choledochal cysts. It is defined as a cystic dilatation of the distal intramural portion of the common bile duct protruding into the duodenal lumen. It remains an uncommon anomaly of the biliary tract with small malignant potential. Definitive treatment of the choledochocele can be carried out operatively or by endoscopic sphincterotomy.We report a case of a 39 year old female patient on whom we successfully performed surgery with a Roux-en-Y hepatico-jejunostomy.
