The authors report technical details of robotic bilioenteric reconstruction done for variable indications: choledochal cyst and biliary stricture. Robotic bilioenteric anastomosis as alternative to open reconstruction, offers advantages of minimal access surgery without compromising the precision of open surgery for hilar dissection and reconstruction. Both patients recovered uneventfully and remain symptom-free 18 and 15 months after surgery.

Choledochal cysts are a rare malformation of the biliary tract with an unknown etiology, predominantly affecting Asians and females. Although they are more often diagnosed during childhood, symptoms typically present in young adulthood due to complications. There are no pathognomonic clinical manifestations; the clinical presentation is associated with gallstones, choledocholithiasis, pancreatitis, cholangitis, and an increased risk of malignancy.

Management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma relies on a thorough understanding of the tumor's location and proximity to critical vasculobiliary structures. Mid-common bile duct tumors may require hemihepatectomy or pancreatoduodenectomy based on the status of the intraoperative frozen section. Distal common bile tumors are treated with pancreatoduodenectomy.

Reconstruction of extrahepatic bile ducts is a staple procedure of HPB surgery. The current standard for most cases is a nonanatomical bilioenteric reconstruction, a satisfactory option for the majority of patients. However, it cannot be used for a small number of selective cases (short bowel syndrome, severe abdominal adhesions), where an anatomical reconstruction with or without an interponate can be used.

Introduction: Sump syndrome is a rare complication following bilioenteric anastomosis, most commonly following choledochoduodenostomy. This is only the third case in the literature of sump syndrome of the distal common bile duct (CBD) following end-to-side Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy (RYCJ). .

Backgrounds: Radical resection is the most effective treatment for perihilar tumors. Biliary tract reconstruction after resection is one of the key steps in this surgery. Mucosa-to-mucosa cholangiojejunostomy is traditionally performed, in which the bile ducts at the resection margin are separately anastomosed to the jejunum.
