Table 2 Late complications and long-term biliary function of patients with Type Ia bile duct cysts

From: Proper bile duct flow, rather than radical excision, is the most critical factor determining treatment outcomes of bile duct cysts

 

Complete excision+ proper bile flow (n = 138)

Complete excision only (n = 14)

Partial excision+ proper bile flow (n = 12)

Partial excision only (n = 2)

P-value (function of proper bile flow)

  1. Data are expressed as number of cases (percentage)
  2. P-values were calculated based on a chi-square test to compare distributions of late complications and long term biliary function on complete excision and bile flow status
