How long is the recovery period for choledochal cyst surgery?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recovery period ranges from 2\u20136 weeks, with minimally invasive procedures typically allowing for quicker healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><br \/>3.What are the risks of recurrence after surgery?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recurrence is rare if the surgery is performed correctly. Regular follow-ups help monitor for rare complications like bile duct narrowing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><br \/>4. Can adults develop choledochal cysts?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choledochal cysts are congenital (present from birth), but they may not show symptoms until adulthood in some cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><br \/>5.
