Abstract

Highlight In this video article, Lee and colleagues present the first report of laparoscopic excision of a type II choledochal cyst located in the intrapancreatic bile duct, which remains technically demanding. The authors recommend sharp dissection of the cyst from the pancreas using a bipolar energy device to control small vessels.

Keywords: biliary tract diseases; choledochal cyst; laparoscopy.
