We report our experience with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-(ERCP-)based interventions in children with complicated choledochal cysts that are refractory to conservative management. Between 1999 and 2006, 42 children (12 boys, 30 girls; median age 3 years, range 2 - 14.5 years) were admitted for surgical treatment of choledochal cysts. Seven of these patients (16.7 %; one boy, six girls; median age 3 years, range 2 - 12 years) showed signs of complicated choledochal cysts, and presented with pancreatitis/cholangitis (n = 4) and obstructive jaundice (n = 3). The anatomical classification of the cysts was type Ic (n = 3), type If (n = 3), and type IV (n = 1). ERCP was successfully performed in 6/7 patients, and therapeutic interventions included removal of debris (n = 3), sphincterotomy (n = 3), and stent placement (n = 4). One patient required blood transfusion for post-sphincterotomy bleeding. The patient in whom the ERCP failed underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Definitive surgery was performed after a median interval of 10 days (range 7 - 68 days) after the ERCP intervention.
