The Choledochal Cyst is a dilatation of the biliary tract whose etiology is still under debate. OBJECTIVE: This paper analyzes the cases of our group an contributes on the indications of transduodenal papilotomy in the surgical treatment of this process. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seven cases diagnosed as @entity2941 are presented with mean age between 3 and 10 years (5 females and 2 males). Six cases were presented with @entity490 , four with @entity1087 , three presented with @entity1608 and one cases was a casual discovery during an US examination. In all cases US and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) were performed as preoperative work-up. In one case an @entity10747 ( @entity10747 ) was made. In all cases intraoperative cholangiography was carried out. The surgical treatment was quistectomy and hepatico yeyunostomy Roux-Y in four cases; in one of them a transduodenal papilotomy was added. Cholecystectomy and transduodenal papilotomy was made in three cases, two of them presented choledocholithiasys. RESULTS: All @entity1 are symptoms free after a mean follow up period of 2 years and 3 months (range: 1 year and 6 months to 4 years and 10 months).
