47715 is the correct code for excision of a choledochal cyst.
Code 47630 is incorrect because this code is used for biliary duct stone extraction. Code 47711 is incorrect because it is the code for the excision of a bile duct tumor. Code 47999 is incorrect because the removal of choledochal cyst has a specific code, so it would not fall under the code for unlisted procedure of the biliary tract.
