MethodsOne hundred and fortyfive patients in 152 CCC were analyzed retrospectively and followed in west China hospital of Sichuan university from 1964 to 1999. ResultsOne hundred and fortyfive cases underwent operation and 6 of them died after operation. The incidence of hepatocirrhosis within first year after birth is higher than those over one year old (P<0.05). Thirtynine cases underwent cystoduodenostomy or cystojejunostomy. One hundred and six children underwent cyst resection and biliary tract reconstruction (with single RouxY hepaticojejunostomy 48 cases, intussusceptive valve and rectangular valve to the line of RouxY hepaticojejunostomy 37 and 21 cases respectively). Seventyseven patients were followedup (means 4.68 years). Two of 3 cases with ascending cholangitis after single RouxY hepaticojejunostomy underwent reoperations with an intussusceptive valve added to the line of RouxY hepaticojejunostomy and the symptoms disappeared. All of them have a good outcome. Conclusion The younger the patients, the less severe the liver damaged, and its prognosis are better. The procedure that cyst resection totally and an intussusceptive valve added to the line of RouxY hepaticojejunostomy should be carried out early as soon as possible.
