Timing of surgery for babies with a bile duct cyst
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial looks at when to do surgery in newborns who were diagnosed before birth with a bile duct cyst. The goal is to find the safest and most effective timing for the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby has a bile duct cyst diagnosis made before birth and confirmed after birth
- Your baby has complete ultrasound scans of the liver and bile ducts before and after birth
- The clinic visit for screening happens when your baby is under 3 months old
- Doctors believe your baby can tolerate 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 trial compares two types of surgery to create a new drainage path for bile when stones in the bile duct cannot be removed by endoscopy. It may be a good option if you have had previous bile duct surgery or have a very wide bile duct.
This trial compares having gallbladder removal surgery early versus later after clearing bile duct stones with an ERCP procedure. It aims to find the best timing to prevent future problems.
This study follows babies under 6 months old who have early signs of liver disease (cholestasis) to better understand what causes it and how it progresses. Researchers will collect medical information over time to improve diagnosis and treatment.
This trial looks at three different ways to treat people who have both gallstones and stones in the bile duct. It aims to find which approach works best and with the fewest complications.
