Choledochal cysts. Part 3 of 3: management

Janakie Singham et al. Can J Surg. 2010 Feb.

Abstract
in English, French

Much about the etiology, pathophysiology, natural course and optimal treatment of cystic disease of the biliary tree remains under debate. Gastroenterologists, surgeons and radiologists alike still strive to optimize their roles in the management of choledochal cysts. To that end, much has been written about this disease entity, and the purpose of this 3-part review is to organize the available literature and present the various theories currently argued by the experts. In part 3, we discuss the management of choledochal cysts, thus completing our comprehensive review.

Dans une large mesure, l’étiologie, la pathophysiologie, le cours naturel et le traitement optimal de la maladie kystique de l’arbre biliaire continuent de faire l’objet de débats. Les gastroentérologues, les chirurgiens et les radiologues cherchent toujours à optimiser leur rôle respectif dans la prise en charge des kystes du cholédoque. C’est pourquoi les chercheurs ont beaucoup écrit à propos de cette entité morbide, et le présent examen en trois parties a pour objet d’organiser les études publiées et de présenter les diverses théories que font actuellement valoir les experts. Dans la troisième partie, nous discutons de la prise en charge des kystes du cholédoque, ce qui complète notre examen détaillé.
