Study summary

This retrospective study aims to systematically analyze the factors influencing short-term rehabilitation and liver function recovery after radical surgery for pediatric common bile duct cysts, identify independent risk factors, construct a risk prediction model, and provide an evidence-based basis for optimizing perioperative management.

Study population

This study enrolled patients admitted between 2017 and 2025 to the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery at Wuhan Children's Hospital, Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital, Shanxi Provincial Children's Hospital, Tianjin Children's Hospital, or the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University. All patients were scheduled to receive either laparoscopic cholecystectomy and choledochal cyst excision, end-to-side jejunojejunal Y anastomosis and hepaticojejunostomy, or robot-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy and choledochal cyst excision, end-to-side jejunojejunal Y anastomosis and hepaticojejunostomy. The target population was patients aged 0-16 years who were definitively diagnosed with choledochal cyst via preoperative pathology or imaging examination, and met the indications for elective surgery. All enrolled patients must have complete perioperative clinical data, and be able to cooperate with postoperative follow-up observation until discharge.

Inclusion criteria

1) Age between 0-16 years, meeting the age-based classification criteria for pediatric patients; 2) Diagnosis of common bile duct cyst confirmed by imaging studies (liver and gallbladder ultrasonography, MRCP, or CT), with histological typing performed according to the Todani classification system; 3) First-time surgical resection of the common bile duct cyst combined with radical Roux-en-Y hepatojejunal anastomosis; 4) Complete clinical medical records, preoperative laboratory test data, intraoperative surgical documentation, postoperative rehabilitation and follow-up data; 5) The study cases are affiliated with respective participating research centers, and inpatient and follow-up data can be readily retrieved.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

1) Children with severe end-stage liver cirrhosis, irreversible liver failure, or malignant biliary tract tumors; 2) Children with severe multi-organ failure (e.g., cardiac, pulmonary, or renal failure) who cannot be adequately assessed for surgical prognosis; 3) Children undergoing secondary surgery or those with recurrent choledochal cysts; 4) Children who have only undergone palliative stoma creation or percutaneous drainage without receiving radical surgical intervention; 5) Cases in which critical perioperative clinical data are missing, making it impossible to meet the requirements for data analysis.
