Minimal Access Surgery for Pediatric Choledochal Malformations: MAS For Pediatric CDC (en Inglés) - Ravi P Kanojia

Minimal Access Surgery for Pediatric Choledochal Malformations is a focused surgical monograph dedicated entirely to the minimal access management of choledochal malformations in children. While choledochal cysts are widely discussed in hepatobiliary and pediatric surgery literature, existing information is often dispersed across journals and multi-topic textbooks. This book brings together the essential principles, operative strategies, and evolving innovations in one comprehensive resource.

The book covers the entire spectrum of minimal access surgery for pediatric choledochal malformations—from historical evolution and patient selection to operative planning, laparoscopic and robotic excision techniques, and biliary reconstruction. Special emphasis is placed on practical aspects such as port placement, interpretation of MRCP for surgical planning, management of accessory ducts and anatomical variations, use of fluorescence guidance, intraoperative choledochoscopy, and the prevention and management of complications. Emerging areas, including artificial intelligence–based predictive modeling and future research directions, are also discussed.

Designed as a practical and comprehensive reference, this monograph serves both surgeons beginning their journey in minimal access pediatric hepatobiliary surgery and experienced specialists seeking technical refinement and updated evidence.

By consolidating current knowledge and operative experience into a single volume, this book aims to function as a one-stop reference for the modern surgical management of pediatric choledochal malformations.
