There were no significant differences in the frequency of postoperative and late postoperative complications between the patients with and without an FD.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>CBD cases with an FD were more likely to be type Ia and less likely to have preoperative symptoms than those without an FD, with a comparable risk of postoperative complications.</p>","PeriodicalId":19832,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Surgery International","volume":"41 1","pages":"224"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12283469/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144691128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
