Clinical Trial: Individualized Drainage Strategy Based on Risk Stratification in Children Undergoing Surgery for Choledochal Cyst: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

U.S., Sept. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07825935) titled 'Individualized Drainage Strategy Based on Risk Stratification in Children Undergoing Surgery for Choledochal Cyst: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial' on Sept. 05.
