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 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 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 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.
This trial tests placing a temporary drainage stent during liver transplant surgery in children to see if it helps prevent bile duct complications. It might improve recovery for young transplant recipients.
