Robotic surgery in children started almost simultaneously with it in adults， but proceeded slowly. Since the Da Vinci robotic choledochal cyst（CC） surgery for children was firstly reported by Woo R et al in 2006， it has been gradually applied in more and more pediatric surgery centers with satisfied results. Though the successful implementation of robot－assisted congenital choledochal cyst excision in China was in 2013， the quantity and quality of this surgery have already reached a remarkable level. With the progress and application of the new technology， the acceptance of the robotic surgery for CC have kept increasing. In order to standardize the clinical practice， guarantee the quality of treatment， promote the healthy development of robotic choledochal cyst surgery for children， the Professional Committee of Pediatric Robotic Surgery of Medical Robotic Surgery Doctor Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association & Professional Committee of Maternal and Child Minimally Invasive Surgery of China Maternal and Child Health Association organized relevant experts to initiate the consensus on robot－assisted choledochal cyst excision in children. The consensus focuses on surgical indications， procedures and techniques， and the prevention and treatment of related surgical complications are also provided as supplementary at the end of the consensus.
