Surgery is recommended after diagnosis of congenital bile duct dilatation. Early surgery is recommended for symptomatic infants and young children, while surgery is recommended for asymptomatic infants and young children at the age of 3 to 6 months. If accompanied by biliary perforation, external biliary drainage is required, and complete surgical treatment will be carried out after the condition of the child is stabilized.
Congenital bile duct dilatation is a kind of congenital bile duct abnormality, including limited dilatation of extrahepatic bile duct, abnormal biliopancreatic confluence, and cystic dilatation of intrahepatic bile duct. Congenital bile duct dilatation can present with clinical symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal mass, jaundice, etc. It can increase the incidence of gallbladder stones, bile duct stones, acute pancreatitis, bile duct cancer, etc. Surgery is the first choice for clinical diagnosis of this disease.
The specific surgical program needs to be combined with the actual situation of the child’s condition, and cannot be generalized.
Newborns with pathological jaundice and abdominal masses in the right upper abdomen should be alerted to the occurrence of this disease, and go to a regular hospital as soon as possible, under the guidance of a professional doctor to conduct relevant examinations and give targeted treatment.
