The preoperative characteristics, intra- and postoperative outcomes, hospital costs, and cost efficiency (the Diagnosis-Related Group reimbursement minus the overall cost) were evaluated prospectively. A total of eighty patients with 142 cysts were included. Postoperative complications occurred in 17 patients (21%), including 11 patients with bile leakage (type A: 1, type B: 6 and type C: 4 patients, total 13%). Bile leakage was more frequent in patients with preoperative MRI signs of cysto-biliary fistulas or intraoperative visible cysto-biliary fistulas (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.03 and\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.04, respectively) and in patients with cysts larger than 8 cm (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.03).
