Hepatic Portoenterostomy

American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1975
Drainage of the biliary tree in infants with biliary atresia remains an unsolved problem, for more than 90% of such infants have an uncorrectable-type lesion, ie, no extra-hepatic bile duct is available for anastomosis to the intestine. The history of attempts to surgically circumvent this problem has been a most depressing one.

A Modification of Hepatic Portoenterostomy (Kasai Operation) for Biliary Atresia

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 1997
Although the proportion of patients with biliary atresia remaining jaundice-free after hepatic portoenterostomy (i.e., Kasai operation) has recently been increasing, in many cases repeated reoperation is required to achieve this result. Also, with assessment of jaundice using 2.0 mg/dL of serum total bilirubin as the cutoff, progressive liver fibrosis ...

Essential fatty acid deficiency after hepatic portoenterostomy for biliary atresia

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1982
Gas chromatography was used to determine the fatty acid composition of total lipids extracted from plasma and erythrocytes of five patients who had received an hepatic portoenterostomy for treatment of extrahepatic biliary atresia. Three patients, including one with successful surgery, demonstrated evidence of essential fatty acid deficiency, including

Diagnosis and treatment of the febrile child following hepatic portoenterostomy

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1985
We report a retrospective analysis of 75 children with hepatic portoenterostomies hospitalized because of fever. Bacterial cholangitis was the most commonly defined cause of fever within 3 months of surgery. Pneumonia and upper respiratory infections were more common 3 months to 2 years following the procedure; however, cholangitis continued to occur ...

Icteric Flare-Up in Patients with Biliary Atresia After Hepatic Portoenterostomy

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1988
The relapse of icterus may be a sign of serious postoperative complication after hepatic portoenterostomy for biliary atresia. To analyse the cause of such icteric flare-up, a retrospective study was made on 27 patients. A total of 38 episodes of icteric flare-up occurred in 19 patients.

Hepatic portoenterostomy—Is it indicated in the treatment of biliary atresia?

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1974
Summary Nine patients underwent hepatic portoenterostomy for incorrectable-type extrahepatic biliary atresia. Postoperatively all showed unremitting progression of their biliary cirrhosis and no evidence for improved bile excretion. Survival statistics for this group of infants reveal that their survival time is actually worse than that reported for ...

The future role of hepatic portoenterostomy as treatment of biliary atresia

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1992
According to our recent study, 38 of 93 patients (40.9%) who underwent portoenterostomy at Juntendo University Hospital between 1977 and 1986 survived for more than 5 years. In order to learn the future improvement of the prognosis of biliary atresia patients who undergo portoenterostomy, we investigated the relationship between the prognosis of ...

Intrahepatic biliary cysts after hepatic portoenterostomy in four children with biliary atresia

Pediatric Radiology, 1989
We report our experience with 4 cases of cystic dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts following hepatic portoenterostomy for biliary atresia. Two of the cases did not achieve satisfactory bile excretion and all four cases developed recurrent cholangitis after hepatic portoenterostomy. The attacks of cholangitis seemed to be associated with the presence
