Surgery for type IVa bile duct cyst
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a specific type of bile duct cyst called Todani type IVa.
- You are between 0 and 80 years old, male or female.
- This would be your first surgery for this condition.
- Your bile ducts must be normal within the pancreas.
- The length of the new bowel connection (Roux loop) must be within a certain range during surgery.
- You must not have other surgeries that could interfere, or cancer, or leftover stones in the bile ducts.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and bile duct might affect bile duct widening. By comparing tissue from people with this condition to healthy donor tissue, researchers hope to find new ways to understand and treat it.
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.
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 different surgical approaches for treating bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) to see which method works better and is safer. You would undergo surgery and have your recovery and outcomes closely monitored.
This study tests a new type of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) to remove both gallstones and bile duct stones at the same time. The goal is to avoid the need for a second procedure or a drainage tube after surgery.
This study tests whether robot-assisted surgery is safe and effective for people with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer). It may be a good fit for patients whose cancer has not spread and who are healthy enough for major surgery.
