Abstract
Introduction
The diagnosis of choledochal cysts in the adult population is complicated by the expected physiologic dilation of the common bile duct after cholecystectomy. We aimed to compare patients who underwent choledochal cyst resection based on cholecystectomy status.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients who underwent choledochal cyst resection between 1/1/1998-12/31/2021. Patients were categorized based on whether they had undergone cholecystectomy prior to choledochal cyst diagnosis. Preoperative imaging characteristics, pathology findings, and outcomes were evaluated.
Results
Amongst 119 patients who underwent excision, 58 (46 %) had and 69 (54 %) had not undergone prior cholecystectomy. Preoperative imaging demonstrated no difference in biliary tract diameter although a greater proportion of patients with a gallbladder in place had an anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (55 % v 33 %, p < 0.05). Biliary malignancy was observed in a greater proportion of patients with prior cholecystectomy although this was not statistically significant (5 % v 3 %; p = 0.9). Rates of post-operative complications were statistically similar between patient cohorts.
Discussion
Radiographic and clinical features were similar among patients who had and had not undergone cholecystectomy. Choledochal cyst patients should be managed uniformly regardless of cholecystectomy status.
