A 25 year old female was operated on three times due to a choledochal cyst rupture occurring on the 6th postpartum day. In the last operation, a hepaticojejunostomy with Braun's anastomosis was performed and a temporary internal stent was applied. The internal stent was removed on the 70th postoperative day. The patient is still living with the risk of secondary biliary cirrhosis and cholangitis.
