The cohort included 8 males and 25 females aged 0.25\u201313.7 years (median age, 3.2 years), including 21 cases of type I and 12 cases of type IV choledochal cyst (Todani classification). Laparoscopic choledochal cyst resection and hepaticojejunostomy with Roux-en-Y anastomosis were performed in all the patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Laparoscopy without transit opening was successfully performed in the 33 cases. The duration of the procedure was 235\u2013460\u2005min (mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009SD, 316\u2009\u00b1\u200961\u2005min), and intraoperative blood loss volume was 15\u201340\u2005ml (23\u2009\u00b1\u20097.6\u2005ml). Postoperative hospital stay was 7\u201314 days (9\u2009\u00b1\u20091.8 days). Postoperative biliary fistula and pancreatitis occurred in two cases each, and all four patients were successfully treated with conservative treatment. No anastomotic stenosis, delayed bleeding, cholangitis, intestinal obstruction, or other complications occurred. All the children were followed up for 2\u201336 months (median period, 17.2 months).
