title: [Laparoscopic choledochocele resection  report of 48 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To summarize surgery experience and efficiency of laparoscopic excision of choledochal cyst and reconstruction of biliary tract and to analyze the treatments administered during intra and post-operation of the biliary reconstruction.
  
  
  METHODS
  We enrolled 48 cases of video-guided laparoscopic intraoperative cholangiography, cholecystectomy, choledochocele resection, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy with an anti-reflux valve from August, 2001 to October, 2003. Their operative procedures and aims were retrospectively analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Forty-four out of 48 patients successfully underwent laparoscopy and recovered soon. Only 4 cases were transformed to open operation. The post-operation complications were found in 4 cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Video-guided laparoscopic excision of choledochal cyst, biliary tract reconstruction and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy are an effective method of treatment with advantages of minimal injury, less bleeding, and sooner recovery.
