    The study analyzed 70 patients undergoing single-port laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision, comparing neonates and older infants/children.

  • 2

    Neonates had larger cyst diameters and higher prenatal detection rates, while older infants/children more often presented with pancreaticobiliary maljunction.

  • 3

    Operative outcomes were similar between groups, with no significant differences in operative time or blood loss.

  • 4

    Neonates experienced longer postoperative stays but had no small diameter hepaticojejunostomy anastomoses.

  • 5

    The study suggests that single-port laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision is feasible and safe for neonates, with comparable outcomes to older patients.
