INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of laparoscopic surgery in complicated choledochal cyst (CDC) with previous interventions (laparotomy or biliary drainage).

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with CDC who underwent surgery from July 2014 to July 2019 were evaluated. CDC without previous interventions (Group A) was compared with CDC that had previous interventions (Group B) to assess the feasibility and outcome of laparoscopic surgery.

RESULTS: In 5 years' period, 38 patients were operated for CDC. The mean age was similar in both groups (3.78 ± 2.27 in Group A and 4.08 ± 2.73 in Group B). Out of six CDC with previous intervention (Group B), five patients were previously managed at other institutions as follows: (1) Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) stenting. (2) Laparotomy for biliary peritonitis and ERCP. (3) Percutaneous drainage of the large cyst. (4) Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. (5) ERCP stenting. (6) Percutaneous drainage for biliary ascites. All patients underwent laparoscopic CDC excision and hepatico-duodenostomy. The mean duration of surgery was 160.3 ± 17.22 in Group A and 169.2 ± 17.5 in Group B ( P = 0.258). None required intraoperative blood transfusion. None had a bile leak. Drain was removed at 4.47 ± 0.98 in Group A, while at 4.17 ± 0.75 days in Group B ( P = 0.481). There was statistically no significant difference in feed starting time or length of stay. In follow-up of 6 months-3 years, all patients are asymptomatic.

CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopy in complicated CDC with previous intervention is technically tedious but is feasible. The procedure is safe and delivers a good outcome.
