Pitfalls and fatal complications after iterative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography management of biliary tract cysts. When to do open surgery (cyst resection; hepaticojejunostomy) or liver transplant?

Biliary tract cysts are a group of rare congenital diseases that have been classified by Todani in 8 types. Hepaticojejunostomy has been the preferred intervention for Type I and IV biliary cysts. It has been postulated that, due to the low incidence of cancerization of Types II and III biliary cyst...

Summary:Biliary tract cysts are a group of rare congenital diseases that have been classified by Todani in 8 types. Hepaticojejunostomy has been the preferred intervention for Type I and IV biliary cysts. It has been postulated that, due to the low incidence of cancerization of Types II and III biliary cysts, a less invasive approach could be suggested, namely cyst resection in Type II, and endoscopic sphincterotomy with opening of choledochocele in small (
