Drainage strategy for children having choledochal cyst surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 tests a new robotic system for doing keyhole surgery on children's bellies and chests. The goal is to see if it's safe and works well for operations that need small cuts instead of large ones.
This trial tests an enhanced recovery program (ERAS) to help children heal faster after surgery for two bile duct conditions: choledochal cyst and biliary atresia. The program includes steps to improve recovery, like better pain control and early eating.
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.
