Long-term outcomes of surgery for choledochal cysts: a single-institution study focusing on follow-up and late complications

ConclusionsThe follow-up rate after definitive surgery declined with time. Late complications were observed within 20  years, but biliary carcinoma was not observed. The follow-up rate should be increased to detect late complications. Moreover, patient education on long-term follow up is essential to prevent life-threatening events after definitive surgery for CC.
