Isolated jejunal loop hepaticoduodenostomy following excision of type VI-A choledochal cyst

Abstract

Introduction Choledochal cyst is a congenital dilatation of the intra hepatic or extra hepatic bile ducts or both. This is classified by Todani classification, which was modified by Alfonso. Depending on the involvement of the biliary tree and the morphological appearance, it is classified into 5 types [1, 2] (Figure1). Type I consists of a solitary extrahepatic cyst, type II is an extrahepatic supraduodenal diverticulum, type III is an intraduodenal cyst(choledochocele), type IV consists of both extrahepatic and intrahepatic cysts; and type V consists of multiple intrahepatic cysts (Caroli s disease).
