Understanding Body Changes After Bile Duct Surgery in Children
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 collects health information from people in China who have biliary dilation (widening of the bile ducts). It looks at their medical history and follows some patients over time to learn more about the condition.
This study looks at how frequently cholangiocarcinoma (bile-duct cancer) occurs in people with choledochal cysts (a swelling of bile ducts). It mainly uses existing imaging records to understand risk in a hospital population.
