Congenital choledochal cyst is a surgical disease, can only be cured by surgical treatment of its root, internal medicine and traditional Chinese medicine treatment is only to alleviate the symptoms, treating the symptoms rather than treating the root cause, so once found should be timely surgical treatment to solve the fundamental problem. “The earlier the better” this is a principle of treatment of disease, in the usual medical work, many doctors do not have a deep understanding of pediatric surgical diseases, a thousand that children’s surgical diseases have to wait for the child to be older and then treatment will be better, but do not know that a lot of children’s deaths or loss of the best diagnosis and treatment of life-long disability, are because of some Doctors and parents always think that the child is small, do surgery traumatic, has been delayed due to. Choledochal cyst disease is the most direct damage to the liver, resulting in cirrhosis, ascites, we have to treat dozens of cases of cirrhosis of the choledochal cysts every year, some have liver fibrosis III, and then come later, surgery is useless, the liver can not be restored. Cirrhosis of the liver is not what many parents think is very difficult to appear, on the contrary, if the child jaundice white stools for a month, the liver will be obviously hardened, some children in a month on the degree of hardening to be able to reach the level of III. For children with asymptomatic choledochal cysts, the liver is slowly being damaged, and it is only a matter of time before the root cause of the disease is removed and the liver is cirrhotic. Children with choledochal cysts are at constant risk of perforation of the choledochal cyst, whether it is a cystic or systolic choledochal cyst, perforation can occur at any time, especially in systolic choledochal cysts, which appear to be small cysts, but the incidence of perforation is much higher. Once a choledochal cyst is perforated, the child’s life will be jeopardized, with coma, shock, and even death. Once perforated, open surgery is the only option, and usually two surgeries are needed to solve the problem. In some cases, the symptoms are not obvious, but are often gastrointestinal symptoms, nausea and vomiting or abdominal pain, which can lead to poor diet, malnutrition, poor growth, and lower height and weight than children of the same age. Therefore, it is important to treat the disease in time and at an early stage. The best way to treat pediatric diseases is to go to a children’s specialty hospital. The saying that “a different profession is like a different mountain” is true in any field, and some general hospitals have a great reputation, but that’s only for adult diseases, and they don’t necessarily have a deep understanding of pediatric diseases. Children’s specialty hospitals have a professional understanding of pediatric diseases and a wealth of clinical experience in dealing with pediatric surgical diseases in a more professional and effective manner. With more than 130 cases of choledochal cyst radical surgery per year, most of which are minimally invasive, the hospital has accumulated a large amount of systematic experience and has unique surgical programs and treatment measures, and is currently the hospital with the largest number of units in the world, the richest experience, and the most guaranteed therapeutic results. On the other hand, the Pediatric Surgery Department at Children’s Specialized Hospital is able to prepare for and safely perform surgeries on newborns, premature babies, and low-birth-weight babies as early as one hour after birth. So whether your baby is hours, days, months, or years old, surgery at a specialized pediatric hospital is guaranteed. The overall incidence of choledochal cysts is very low, and is a rare disease. Some doctors may not even see one case in their entire working life, so the majority of large hospitals usually treat about 10 cases of choledochal cysts each year, while small hospitals basically do not treat them. Radical choledochal cyst surgery is the highest level of pediatric surgery (level 4 surgery), and there are only a handful of hospitals in each province that can carry out radical choledochal cyst surgery because choledochal cysts are disseminated cases, so each hospital is not particularly experienced, and even fewer are able to carry out laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, it is important to be careful when choosing a treatment to avoid the risk of transferring to another hospital and having to undergo a second surgery. It is impossible to avoid the trauma of surgery for surgical diseases. No matter when you choose to be treated, you will have to go through the pain of surgery, and the later the treatment is, the more your child will suffer, the more tortuous the road to medical treatment will be, and the more financial burden your family will have to bear. That’s why choledochal cysts should be treated as soon as they are diagnosed, the sooner the better.
