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.

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.
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.
This study compares two ways of managing drainage after surgery for a choledochal cyst, a bile duct condition in children. The goal is to find which approach leads to better recovery with fewer complications.
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 surgical method to remove stones from the gallbladder and bile duct at the same time using tiny incisions and a small tube. It may help people with both conditions avoid a second procedure and recover faster.
