Non-stapled, total laparoscopic Roux-en-Y anastomosis: A safe and effective procedure for radical pediatric choledochal cyst excision.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgery has become the main pediatric minimal invasive surgery for a choledochal cyst (CDC). However, the Roux-en-Y jejunal limb was created extracorporeally in most reports and intracorporeally in a few reports using an endoscopic stapler.

Objectives/methods

To investigate the safety and feasibility of non-stapled laparoscopic Roux-en-Y reconstruction in the radical treatment of congenital choledochal cysts (CDC). Between January 2019 and February 2023, 40 patients diagnosed with CDC underwent non-stapled laparoscopic Roux-en-Y reconstruction (non-stapled totally laparoscopic radical treatment, NTLR), 40 patients underwent conventional reconstruction (conventional laparoscopic radical treatment, CLR) included as control. Their clini
