Abstract
Objective The aim of the study was to develop a prediction nomogram based on clinical factors to assess the risk of postoperative complications in children with congenital choledochal cyst. Methods The clinical data from 131 children who underwent choledochal cyst resection and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in our hospital between January 2016 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The general information, clinical symptoms, procedure, biochemical indicators, and imaging data were recorded. A prolonged hospital stay induced by postoperative complications or a follow-up over 6 months was assessed as the event outcome. A logistics regression analysis was performed to screen for risk factors with statistical significance in inducing postoperative complications. Then, with the dataset split into the training group and internal validation group, the nomogram for the prediction of postoperative complications was developed based on a computer algorithm. In addition, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were performed for nomogram verification. Results Of 131 children, the multivariate logistics regression analysis suggested that age ≤2 years [odds ratio (OR) 0.93; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.15-5.65; p = 0.938], Todani classification type 1 (OR 36.58; 95% CI 4.14-871.74; p = 0.005), cyst wall thickness >0.4 cm (OR 10.82; 95% CI 2.88-49.13; p < 0.001), with chronic cholecystitis (OR 7.01; 95% CI 1.62-38.52; p = 0.014), and choledochal cyst diameter (OR 1.01; 95% CI 0.99-1.03; p = 0.370) were predictors associated with the postoperative complications of choledochal cysts. The data were randomly divided into the training group (n = 92) and internal validation group (n = 39) to build the prediction nomogram including the appeal factors. The accuracy and discrimination of the model were evaluated using a ROC curve and calibration curve. The results showed that the nomogram area under the ROC curve [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.894; 95% CI 0.822-0.966; p < 0.001], validation (AUC = 0.844; 95% CI 0.804-0.952; p < 0.001), and Brier = 0.120 (95% CI 0.077-0.163p; p < 0.001) were indicative of the good stability and calibration of the predictive nomogram. Conclusion The prognosis of congenital choledochal cysts was associated with multiple aspects of clinical factors. Combined with the internal validation, the novel prediction nomogram was suitable for evaluating the individualized risk of postoperative complications of choledochal cysts. The prediction nomogram could provide a more accurate strategy of procedure and postoperative follow-up for children with choledochal cysts.

Abstract
Giant choledochal cysts are rare, and so little data exist on the best surgical treatment method. We present here, a case of a giant choledochal cyst that was successfully excised by laparoscopic resection. A 37-year-old female presented with right upper abdominal pain and mild jaundice. On examination she had a right upper abdominal mass which on imaging was observed to be a giant choledochal cyst of type IVa, measuring approximately 129 mm × 190 mm. Her blood test results showed abnormal liver function. We successfully performed laparoscopic resection of the cyst, the patient recovered well and was discharged from hospital eight days post-operation without any complications. We wish to share the experience of this rare case and provide some clinical basis for future diagnosis and use of laparoscopic resection in the treatment of giant choledochal cysts.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop machine learning (ML) models to predict the surgical risk of children with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) and biliary dilatation. METHODS The subjects of this study were 157 pediatric patients who underwent surgery for PBM with biliary dilatation between January, 2015 and August, 2022. Using preoperative data, four ML models were developed, including logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), support vector machine classifier (SVC), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). The performance of each model was assessed via the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC). Model interpretations were generated by Shapley Additive Explanations. A nomogram was used to validate the best-performing model. RESULTS Sixty-eight patients (43.3%) were classified as the high-risk surgery group. The XGBoost model (AUC = 0.822) outperformed the LR (AUC = 0.798), RF (AUC = 0.802) and SVC (AUC = 0.804) models. In all four models, enhancement of the choledochal cystic wall and an abnormal position of the right hepatic artery were the two most important features. Moreover, the diameter of the choledochal cyst, bile duct variation, and serum amylase were selected as key predictive factors by all four models. CONCLUSIONS Using preoperative data, the ML models, especially XGBoost, have the potential to predict the surgical risk of children with PBM and biliary dilatation. The nomogram may provide surgeons early warning to avoid intraoperative iatrogenic injury.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Choledochal cysts are rare congenital biliary cystic dilations. The US incidence rate varies between 5 and 15 cases per 1,000,000 people. In contrast, Asians, which are a large subset of the population of Hawaii, have an incidence of approximately one in every 1000 births. We report our experience with robot-assisted laparoscopic surgical management with biliary reconstruction of choledochal cysts which to date is the largest American case series to be reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2006 to 2021, patients diagnosed with a choledochal cyst(s) at a tertiary children's hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Perioperative analysis was performed. Complications were defined as immediate, early, or late. The data underwent simple descriptive statistics. RESULTS Nineteen patients underwent choledochal cystectomy and hepaticoduodenostomy. Thirteen underwent a robotic approach while the rest were planned laparoscopic. Eighteen of 19 were female with 15/19 of Asian descent. The ages ranged from 5 mo to 21 y. Presenting diagnoses included jaundice, primary abdominal pain, pancreatitis, and cholangitis. Sixty eight percent had type 1 fusiform cysts while the rest were type 4a. Operative time and length of stay for robotic versus laparoscopic were 321 versus 267 min and 8.2 versus 17.3 d, respectively. For the robotic group, there was one immediate complication due to peritonitis. One-year follow-up revealed two patients requiring endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with dilation/stenting for an anastomotic stricture. There were no anastomotic leaks. CONCLUSIONS Robot-assisted laparoscopic choledochal cystectomy with hepaticoduodenostomy is associated with overall good outcomes with the most common long-term complication being anastomotic stenosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to develop a prediction model to identify risk factors for post-operative acute pancreatitis (POAP) in children with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) by pre-operative analysis of patient variables. METHODS Logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) models were established using the prospectively collected databases of patients with PBM undergoing surgery which was reviewed in the period comprised between August 2015 and August 2022, at the Children's Hospital of Soochow University. Primarily, the area beneath the receiver-operating curves (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were used to evaluate the model performance. The model was finally validated using the nomogram and clinical impact curve. RESULTS In total, 111 children with PBM met the inclusion criteria, and 21 children suffered POAP. In the validation dataset, LR models showed the highest performance. The risk nomogram and clinical effect curve demonstrated that the LR model was highly predictive. CONCLUSION The prediction model based on the LR with a nomogram could be used to predict the risk of POAP in patients with PBM. Protein plugs, age, white blood cell count, and common bile duct diameter were the most relevant contributing factors to the models.

Abstract
Objectives Minimally invasive cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomies include laparoscopic and robotic-assisted operations. The current systematic review and meta-analysis compared the efficacy between the 2 groups. Methods A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wiley, Cochrane Library and Clinical Trials was performed from May 1995 to December 2021. The primary outcome was postoperative complications, and the secondary outcomes were operative details and postoperative outcomes. Results The meta-analysis enrolled 6 reports including 484 patients (307 in the laparoscopic group and 177 in the robotic-assisted group). The laparoscopic group was associated with lower expenses (MD = −3851.60$, 95% CI = −4031.84 to −3671.36$, P < 0.00001). No significant difference was found in short-term complications (RR = 1.55, 95% CI = 0.74 to 3.23, P = 0.24), long-term complications (RR = 1.40, 95% CI = 0.63 to 3.10, P = 0.41), total complications (RR = 1.53, 95% CI = 0.59 to 3.94, P = 0.38), operative time (MD = −28.75 min, 95% CI = −77.13 to 19.64 min, P = 0.24), blood loss (MD = 2.28 ml, 95% CI = −13.51 to 18.06 ml, P = 0.78) or hospital stays (MD = 0.89 days, 95% CI = −0.13 to 1.91 days, P = 0.09). In subgroup analysis, the laparoscopic operation had shorter operative time (MD = −4.45 min, P = 0.009), and less blood loss (MD = −63.18 ml, P = 0.01) in adult patients. Conclusions Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy have comparable postoperative outcomes. Comparison the efficacy of laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted operation. Reviewing the robotic-assisted operation for choledochal cysts. The advantages and disadvantages of two methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study was aimed to update the classification of hepatobiliary malformations and study the clinicopathological profile of pediatric choledochal cyst (CDC) and pediatric giant choledochal cyst (GCC) patients undergone surgery. METHODS We have retrospectively analysed the data of 57 consecutive cases of CDCs in paediatric patients from a time period spanning from 2016 to 2020. RESULTS Revised classification of hepatobiliary malformations was proposed and these were divided into 2 broad headings, choledochal (congenital and acquired) and extra-choledochal spectrum. 57 pediatric patients were diagnosed as having CDC with average age 4.615 years and female to male ratio of 3.7:1. We have also reported one of the largest GCC measuring 23 × 10 × 9 cm size. The classical triad was known to be more common and seen in 60% GCCs as opposed to 14.5% in CDCs. Values of serum bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT, PT/INR were elevated in CDC series and normal in GCC patients. 55 patients (96.5%) underwent cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. Mortality was seen in 7.01% patients (n = 4) following surgery. CONCLUSION Simplified and broader classification system for CDCs has been proposed. Clinical studies found that GCC differs considerably from classical CDCs.

The incidence of different forms of ileus following surgery for abdominal birth defects in infants: a systematic review with a meta-analysis method. Innov Surg Sci 2021; 6:127-150. [PMID: 35937853 PMCID: PMC9294340 DOI: 10.1515/iss-2020-0042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Ileus following surgery can arise in different forms namely as paralytic ileus, adhesive small bowel obstruction or as anastomotic stenosis. The incidences of these different forms of ileus are not well known after abdominal birth defect surgery in infants. Therefore, this review aims to estimate the incidence in general between abdominal birth defects. Content Studies reporting on paralytic ileus, adhesive small bowel obstruction or anastomotic stenosis were considered eligible. PubMed and Embase were searched and risk of bias was assessed. Primary outcome was the incidence of complications. A meta-analysis was performed to pool the reported incidences in total and per birth defect separately. Summary This study represents a total of 11,617 patients described in 152 studies of which 86 (56%) had a follow-up of at least half a year. Pooled proportions were calculated as follows; paralytic ileus: 0.07 (95%-CI, 0.05-0.11; I 2=71%, p≤0.01) ranging from 0.14 (95% CI: 0.08-0.23) in gastroschisis to 0.05 (95%-CI: 0.02-0.13) in omphalocele. Adhesive small bowel obstruction: 0.06 (95%-CI: 0.05-0.07; I 2=74%, p≤0.01) ranging from 0.11 (95% CI: 0.06-0.19) in malrotation to 0.03 (95% CI: 0.02-0.06) in anorectal malformations. Anastomotic stenosis after a month 0.04 (95%-CI: 0.03-0.06; I 2=59%, p=0.30) ranging from 0.08 (95% CI: 0.04-0.14) in gastroschisis to 0.02 (95% CI: 0.01-0.04) in duodenal obstruction. Anastomotic stenosis within a month 0.03 (95%-CI 0.01-0.10; I 2=81%, p=0.02) was reviewed without separate analysis per birth defect. Outlook This review is the first to aggregate the known literature in order approximate the incidence of different forms of ileus for different abdominal birth defects. We showed these complications are common and the distribution varies between birth defects. Knowing which birth defects are most at risk can aid clinicians in taking prompt action, such as nasogastric tube placement, when an ileus is suspected. Future research should focus on the identification of risk factors and preventative measures. The incidences provided by this review can be used in those studies as a starting point for sample size calculations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections (SSI) are a frequent and significant problem understudied in infants operated for abdominal birth defects. Different forms of SSIs exist, namely wound infection, wound dehiscence, anastomotic leakage, post-operative peritonitis and fistula development. These complications can extend hospital stay, surge medical costs and increase mortality. If the incidence was known, it would provide context for clinical decision making and aid future research. Therefore, this review aims to aggregate the available literature on the incidence of different SSIs forms in infants who needed surgery for abdominal birth defects. METHOD The electronic databases Pubmed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library were searched in February 2020. Studies describing infectious complications in infants (under three years of age) were considered eligible. Primary outcome was the incidence of SSIs in infants. SSIs were categorized in wound infection, wound dehiscence, anastomotic leakage, postoperative peritonitis, and fistula development. Secondary outcome was the incidence of different forms of SSIs depending on the type of birth defect. Meta-analysis was performed pooling reported incidences in total and per birth defect separately. RESULTS 154 studies, representing 11,786 patients were included. The overall pooled percentage of wound infections after abdominal birth defect surgery was 6% (95%-CI:0.05-0.07) ranging from 1% (95% CI:0.00-0.05) for choledochal cyst surgery to 10% (95%-CI:0.06-0.15) after gastroschisis surgery. Wound dehiscence occurred in 4% (95%-CI:0.03-0.07) of the infants, ranging from 1% (95%-CI:0.00-0.03) after surgery for duodenal obstruction to 6% (95%-CI:0.04-0.08) after surgery for gastroschisis. Anastomotic leakage had an overall pooled percentage of 3% (95%-CI:0.02-0.05), ranging from 1% (95%-CI:0.00-0.04) after surgery for duodenal obstruction to 14% (95% CI:0.06-0.27) after colon atresia surgery. Postoperative peritonitis and fistula development could not be specified per birth defect and had an overall pooled percentage of 3% (95%-CI:0.01-0.09) and 2% (95%-CI:0.01-0.04). CONCLUSIONS This review has systematically shown that SSIs are common after correction for abdominal birth defects and that the distribution of SSI differs between birth defects.

Abstract
Choledochal cysts (CC) ae rare congenital dilations of the biliary tract that harbor lifelong malignancy risk. CC are treated with surgical excision and bilioenteric reconstruction. In the modern era, the surgical approach to pediatric patients has enjoyed significant innovation with regards to minimally invasive techniques. In this review, we discuss these advances, including laparoscopic, single-incision laparoscopic, and robotic strategies, with a focus on the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing these procedures. By presenting an overview of the technical pearls emphasized by pioneers of these procedures, we examine the benefits and limitations of various minimally invasive techniques and analyze the utility and effectiveness of laparoscopy and robotics in comparison to each other and open techniques. Additionally, we highlight the importance of surgeon experience and skill in the management of this rare pediatric disease and explore the significance of the surgical learning curve in minimally invasive approaches in the excision of CC. We discuss the challenge of achieving surgical competency along this learning curve, and present proposed strategies to improve skill sets in the face of low case volumes. Finally, the relative dearth of data discussing long-term follow-up in these patients is discussed, and additional research regarding outcomes, malignancy risk and surveillance, and quality of life is necessary to better understand this disease and the implications of its surgical management.

Tactics, techniques, and challenges in the management of giant choledochal cyst in adolescents and adults: a retrospective cohort study. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2021; 406:1925-1933. [PMID: 34021416 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-021-02209-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Choledochal cyst is a rare congenital anomaly manifesting as cystic dilatation of the biliary tree. This study presents our 5-year experience with giant choledochal cyst in adolescents and adults, focusing primarily on its clinical presentation, operative challenges, and pragmatic solutions. METHODS A retrospective observational study was conducted on 58 adolescent and adult choledochal cyst patients who were managed at a tertiary care hospital. Giant choledochal cyst is defined as cyst with a maximum diameter of ≥ 10 cm. Demographic profile, clinical presentation, and surgical outcome of these patients were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 12 patients with giant choledochal cyst were managed in our department in a duration of 5 years. The median age of patients with giant choledochal cyst was 20 years (range, 13-30 years) and male to female ratio was 1:2. Giant choledochal cysts were more symptomatic and 8 out of 12 presented with classic triad of abdominal pain, mass, and jaundice. One patient with giant choledochal cyst had metastatic cholangiocarcinoma. Eleven patients underwent surgical cyst excision. Surgery of the giant cyst was challenging and required technical modifications for safe excision. CONCLUSION Giant choledochal cyst is an unusual entity that is rarely encountered beyond first decade of life. These cysts pose unique surgical challenges and require modification of the standard operative technique.

Incisional hernia after surgical correction of abdominal congenital anomalies in infants: a systematic review with meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:21170. [PMID: 33273483 PMCID: PMC7713071 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-77976-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2020] [Accepted: 11/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Incisional hernia (IH) in children could result in life-threatening complications, including incarceration and bowel strangulation. The incidence and risk factors of IH in infants are scarcely reported. Since IH-correction may require extensive surgery and a long recovery program, identifying infants and birth defects at risk, may lead to a different approach during the primary surgery. Therefore, the aim of this review is to systematically review the available data on the incidence of IH following surgery for congenital anomalies in infants. All studies describing IH were considered eligible. PubMed and Embase were searched and risk of bias was assessed. Primary outcome was the incidence of IH, secondary outcomes were difference in IH occurrence between disease severity (complex vs simple) and closure method (SILO vs primary closure) in gastroschisis patients. A meta-analysis was performed to pool the reported incidences in total and per congenital anomaly separately. Subgroup analysis within gastroschisis articles was performed. The 50 included studies represent 3140 patients. The pooled proportion of IH was 0.03 (95% CI 0.02–0.05; I2 = 79%, p ≤ 0.01) all anomalies combined. Gastroschisis (GS) reported highest pooled proportion 0.10 (95% CI 0.06–0.17; n = 142/1273; I2 = 86%; p ≤ 0.01). SILO closure (OR 3.09) and simple gastroschisis, i.e. without additional anomalies, (OR 0.18) were of significant influence. This review reports the incidence of IH in infants with different congenital abdominal anomalies, of which gastroschisis reported the highest risk. In GS patients, complex GS and SILO closure are risk factors for IH development.

Total versus conventional laparoscopic cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in children with choledochal cysts: a case-control study. BMC Surg 2020; 20:243. [PMID: 33069222 PMCID: PMC7568352 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-020-00906-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 10/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the efficacy of total and conventional laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy (TLH and CLH) in children with choledochal cysts (CDCs). METHODS Data from patients undergoing TLH and CLH between August 2017 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Intraoperative blood loss, time for jejunum-cojejunum anastomosis, time to oral intake, postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization expenses, and postoperative complications were compared. RESULTS All 55 patients (TLH = 30, CLH = 25) were successfully treated without conversion to open surgery. In the TLH and CLH groups, the time to oral intake was 3.57 ± 0.19 d and 4.56 ± 0.27 d, respectively (t = 3.07, P < 0.01), the postoperative hospital stay was 5.50 ± 0.28 d and 7.00 ± 0.74 d (t = 2.03, P < 0.05), and the hospitalization expenses were CNY 40,085 ± 2447 and CNY 26,084 ± 2776 (t = 3.79, P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss (9.57 ± 3.28 ml vs 8.2 ± 1.13 ml, t = 0.37, P = 0.72) or time for jejunum-cojejunum anastomosis (80.5 ± 2.46 min vs 75.00 ± 2.04 min, t = 1.68, P = 0.10). The median follow-up periods of the TLH and CLH groups were 17 and 16 months, respectively. Overall complication rates were comparable between the two groups (10% vs 8%, χ2 = 0.07, P = 0.79). CONCLUSIONS TLH in children with CDCs has the advantages of rapid gastrointestinal functional recovery and a short hospitalization. However, hospitalization is relatively expensive.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to identify the hepatic vascular variations with visual three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of vessels in pediatric patients with choledochal cyst (CDC). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 84 children with pathologically confirmed CDCs treated in the Children's Hospital of Soochow University. 180 patients without CDCs as a control to analysis the hepatic artery and portal vein anatomy. All patients were examined by multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) and the images of children with CDC were reconstructed by Hisense computer-assisted surgery system (Hisense CAS) to obtain visual 3D images. RESULTS There were 71 females and 13 males diagnosed with CDC. According to Todani classification of CDC, there were 42 cases of type Ia, 10 cases of type Ic and 32 cases of type IVa. There were 10 (11.9%) patients with hepatic artery variations, 14 (16.7%) patients with right hepatic artery located on the ventral side of the CDC, and 16 (19.0%) patients with portal vein variations. Sex, age and types of the cyst were not associated with the presence of vascular variations. There was no significant difference in hepatic vascular variation between CDCs and control groups. Visual 3D images clearly displayed the hepatic vascular variations and the spatial structure of the CDC in pediatric patients with CDC. CONCLUSIONS Hepatic artery and portal vein variations can be detected in pediatric patients with CDC. Visual 3D technique can visually and stereoscopically display the anatomical variations of the hepatic artery and portal vein.

Abstract
Pediatric laparoscopic surgery has developed rapidly in the past 20 years in mainland China with the help of international collaborative training programs. High-volume laparoscopic workload has enabled Chinese pediatric surgeons to innovate and gain experience within a short span of time. We feel that outcomes are comparable or even in some cases superior to that of open surgery. In this article, based on the Storz Lecture to the 65th BAPS Congress in Liverpool, we share our experience of this rapid development of pediatric laparoscopy. EVIDENCE LEVEL: V.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate factors affecting the operating time for complete cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in paediatric cases of congenital choledochal malformation (CCM). DESIGN A 3-year retrospective study was undertaken between January 2013 and December 2015 in four centres in China. SETTING This involved a retrospective chart review of paediatric patients with CCM in four large hospitals in Southeast China. PARTICIPANTS Sixty-five paediatric patients with CCM were included in this study. We derived all available information on patient demographics, clinical characteristics, preoperative complications and surgical methods from the charts of all these patients. INTERVENTIONS Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate factors significantly affecting the operating time for complete cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in paediatric cases of CCM. RESULTS Twenty-three of the 65 case surgeries were performed using laparoscopic technique, and 42 surgeries were performed by conventional open surgery. The median operating time was 215 min (range 120-430 min). The morphological subtype of CCM and the presence of cholecystitis or cholangitis were the only factors found to affect the operating time (p<0.05). Logistic regression analysis confirmed cholangitis as an independent risk factor. CONCLUSIONS The morphological subtype of CMM and the presence of cholecystitis or cholangitis are factors affecting the operating time for complete cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in paediatric cases of CCM, whereas cholangitis is an independent risk factor.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic management of choledochal cysts compared with the open approach, even in early childhood. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 206 patients with choledochal cysts between June 2003 and May 2015. Of these, 104 patients underwent open cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy (open operation [OP]) and 102 patients received laparoscopic management and hepaticojejunostomy (laparoscopic operation [LP]). The patients who underwent a laparoscopic approach were further divided by the age of 3 years. We compared patients’ perioperative and follow-up conditions between the 2 approaches and the 2 age groups. Results: All patients were cured with no incidence of mortality. The operating time was significantly longer in the LP (OP: 225.4±51.0 min versus LP: 170.3±35.4 min, p=0.000), but blood loss (LP: 12.9±22.9 ml versus OP: 32.4±52.7 ml, p=0.001) was significantly larger in the OP. The number of days to normal oral feeding (LP: 3.3±0.9 dyas versus OP: 4.1±0.9 days, p=0.000) and postoperative stay-in-ward duration (LP: 7.5±2.7 days versus OP: 9.6±5.5 days, p=0.001) were significantly shorter with the LP. There were no significant differences among all of the above tests between the younger and older patients (p>0.05). Conclusions: Laparoscopic operation is safe and effective, even for young children. With the advantages of less blood loss, smaller trauma, shorter postoperative recovery time, and improved cosmetic features, it is worth considering its widespread application.

Abstract
PURPOSE Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has been described in adults with Crohn's disease, but its use in pediatric Crohn's patients has been limited. The purpose of this study was to review our experience with SILS in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease. METHODS A retrospective review was performed for patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease who underwent small bowel resection or ileocecectomy at a freestanding children's hospital from 2006 to 2014. Data collected included demographic data, interval from diagnosis to surgery, operative time, length of stay, and postoperative outcomes. RESULTS Analysis identified 19 patients who underwent open surgery (OS) and 41 patients who underwent SILS. One patient (2.4 %) within the SILS group required conversion to OS. Demographic characteristics were similar between the 2 cohorts. The most common indication for surgery was stricture/obstruction (SILS 70.7 % vs. OS 68.4 %, p = 0.86), and ileocecectomy was the most common primary procedure performed (SILS 90.2 % vs. OS 100 % OS). Operative times were longer for SILS (135 ± 50 vs. 105 ± 37 min, p = 0.02). However, when the last 20 SILS cases were compared to all OS cases, the difference was no longer statistically significant (SILS 123.3 ± 34.2 vs. OS 105 ± 36.5, p = 0.12). No difference was noted in postoperative length of stay (SILS 6.5 ± 2.2 days vs. OS 7.4 ± 2.2 days, p = 0.16) or overall complication rate (SILS 24.4 % vs. OS 26.3 %, p = 0.16). CONCLUSION SILS ileocecectomy is feasible in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease, achieving outcomes similar to OS. As experience increased, operative times also became comparable.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to assess factors for delineating the pancreaticobiliary junction in the presence of pediatric congenital choledochal cysts (CCC) using Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Methods Retrospective review of medical records for 48 patients with CCC was conducted, including demographics, biliary amylase and MRCP findings if available. With univariate and multivariate logistic regression, we measured significant factors affecting pancreaticobiliary maljunction(PBM) diagnoses by MRCP. Results Of the subjects enrolled with CCC. Twenty-eight cases had PBM according to MRCP. Univariate analysis confirmed that age, cyst diameter > 30 mm and cysts that descended to the introitus pelvis affected junctional delineation and detection of PBM (P<0.05). Stepwise logistic regression analysis confirmed large cysts in the introitus pelvis predicted pancreaticobiliary junctional delineation in MRCP and these data agreed with the literature. A correlation between cyst diameter and the length of the common channel was found as was cyst diameter and biliary amylase although there were no significant differences between them. Conclusions Age, cyst diameter >30 mm and descending cysts into the introitus pelvis affected junctional delineation of the pancreatic and bile duct in PBM with MRCP. Large cyst descension into the introitus pelvis was an independent factors affecting PBM detection.

Abstract
Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), or laparoendoscopic single-site surgery, has been employed in various fields to minimize traumatic effects over the last two decades. Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has been the most frequently studied SILS to date. Hundreds of studies on SILC have failed to present conclusive results. Most randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been small in scale and have been conducted under ideal operative conditions. The role of SILC in complicated scenarios remains uncertain. As common bile duct exploration (CBDE) methods have been used for more than one hundred years, laparoscopic CBDE (LCBDE) has emerged as an effective, demanding, and infrequent technique employed during the laparoscopic era. Likewise, laparoscopic biliary-enteric anastomosis is difficult to carry out, with only a few studies have been published on the approach. The application of SILS to CBDE and biliary-enteric anastomosis is extremely rare, and such innovative procedures are only carried out by a number of specialized groups across the globe. Herein we present a thorough and detailed analysis of SILC in terms of operative techniques, training and learning curves, safety and efficacy levels, recovery trends, and costs by reviewing RCTs conducted over the past three years and two recently updated meta-analyses. All existing literature on single-incision LCBDE and single-incision laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy has been reviewed to describe these two demanding techniques.
