Best time for surgery in babies with a prenatally diagnosed bile duct cyst
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at the best time to perform surgery on infants who have a choledochal cyst diagnosed before birth. It may help doctors decide whether early or later surgery leads to better outcomes for your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a choledochal cyst (a rare birth defect in the bile duct) found both before birth and confirmed after birth.
- Complete ultrasound images of the liver and bile ducts from before and after birth must be available.
- Your child must be younger than 3 months old at the time of the first clinic visit.
- Your child must be able to safely undergo surgery after birth.

This study tests how well and safely a surgery works for treating a certain type of bile duct cyst (Todani type IVa). It aims to improve outcomes for people who need this operation for the first time.
This study follows children who have had bile duct (biliary tract) surgery to understand how their bodies change and adapt afterward. Researchers compare them with healthy children to learn what is normal and help improve care.
This study looks at the bacteria and other microbes in the bile ducts of people with biliary dilatation compared to healthy donors. The goal is to understand how these microbes might be linked to the condition, which could lead to better treatments.
