Abstract  Background:  To compare the efficacy of total and conventional laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy (TLH and CLH) in children with choledochal cysts (CDCs). Methods:  Data from patients undergoing TLH and CLH between August 2017 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Intraoperative blood loss, time for jejunum-cojejunum anastomosis, time to oral intake, postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization expenses, and postoperative complications were compared. Results:  All 55 patients (TLH = 30, CLH = 25) were successfully treated without conversion to open surgery. In the TLH and CLH groups, the time to oral intake was 3.57 ± 0.19 d and 4.56 ± 0.27 d, respectively (t = 3.07, P
