Ten cases of choledochal cyst (CC) were treated by biliary-appendicoduodenostomy. The follow-up comprised a patient interview, ultrasonography (US), and single-proton ejected computerized tomography (SPECT) scanning. In all cases an anti-reflux submucosal tunnel was added to the distal appendico-duodenostomy; all showed an uneventful postoperative course. All the dilated intrahepatic bile ducts had normalized on B-US postoperatively. Four children under went SPECT examination; all of them had patent neo-bile ducts. In the authors' opinion: (1) Anastomosing the cecal end of the appendix to the common hepatic duct seemed more favorable than the other way around, because the cecal end could be easily trimmed to the size of the common hepatic duct, which was more or less dilated in the presence of a CC; (2) It is necessary to add a submucosal tunnel to the distal appendicoduodenostomy to achieve a more reliable anti-reflux effect; and (3) Transposing the vascularized appendix through the retro-transverse colon simplified the procedure and might reduce the risk of retroperitoneal complications if bile leakage should occur.
