Article Synopsis
- The study describes the first 13 laparoscopic surgeries for common bile duct cysts at Pequeno Príncipe Hospital in Brazil, highlighting patient demographics and techniques used.
- Most patients were young females with abdominal pain, and the hepaticoduodenal anastomosis technique was commonly used with no major complications or need for conversion to open surgery.
- Follow-up showed that all patients remained asymptomatic and did not experience further complications, reinforcing the safety of laparoscopic methods for these cases.
