Article Abstract
The da Vinci SP, a robotic surgical platform capable of single-port surgery, offers cosmetic advantages; however, its use in pediatric patients has been limited. This report presents the first da Vinci SP operation for a choledochal cyst in a 7-year-old girl with Type Ic disease. The procedure was completed in 300 min, including 192 min of console time, with no intraoperative complications. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 7. The SP robot enables precise surgical interventions within small anatomical spaces without the need for extensive planning of port placement to avoid forceps interference. Additionally, its ability to adjust the position of the remote center expands the potential for a wide range of pediatric operations, particularly for surgeries in close proximity to target organs.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopy combined with intraoperative choledochoscopy in treating choledochal cysts and preventing postoperative complications.
Patients And Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 208 patients with Todani type I choledochal cysts treated laparoscopically from January 2016 to January 2023. Patients undergoing open surgery were excluded.

Background: Todani Type IVa choledochal cysts are rare congenital malformations involving both intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Adult-onset, asymptomatic, and localized presentations are exceptionally uncommon and pose a surgical challenge, particularly when considering the extent of resection and reconstruction required.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 24-year-old asymptomatic female who was incidentally diagnosed with a localized Todani Type IVa cyst involving the left hepatic lobe and the common bile duct.

Background: Choledochal cysts (ChDCs) in adults are rare and mostly benign. Their management involves having either extensive surgery in tertiary centres or conservative long-term surveillance in general hospitals. However, there is a gap in the literature regarding the ideal management approach to adopt in practice.

Background: Choledochal cyst is treated with extrahepatic bile duct resection and hepaticojejunostomy. Minimally invasive approaches, including laparoscopic surgery (LS) and robotic surgery (RS), offer potential advantages over open surgery (OS), but their impact on perioperative and short-term postoperative outcomes remains unclear.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 201 pediatric patients who underwent OS (n=83), LS (n=89), or RS (n=29).

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the optimal surgical timing for symptomatic choledochal cyst (CDC) with hyperamylasemia in children.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 61 symptomatic CDC patients with hyperamylasemia who underwent cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy between July 2020 and November 2021. Patients were either in symptomatic phase or in remission at the time of surgery.
