Question

After the baby was born and underwent an ultrasound examination, they were found to have congenital choledochal cyst. The doctor recommended surgery, but since the child is still very young, I’m not sure how to proceed with treatment?

Answer

Choledochal cyst is a condition where the bile ducts become abnormally dilated due to congenital developmental anomalies. For infants, if the condition is severe, a temporary cyst external drainage surgery can be performed first, followed by a second-stage cyst removal surgery after the child’s condition stabilizes and their constitution improves. Additionally, parents should cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and pay attention to the child’s dietary management and hygiene habits.
