Abstract
Choledochal cyst is a rare condition in America and Europe. However, it is a common disease in Asian countries, especially Japan, China, and Vietnam. Laparoscopic cystectomy and hepaticojejunostomy for choledochal cyst was first performed by Farello in 1995. Nowadays, laparoscopic surgery is a routine procedure in the management of choledochal cyst in many centers.
