Hepatic Hilar Lymph Node Reactivity at Kasai Portoenterostomy for Biliary Atresia: Correlations With Age, Outcome, and Histology of Proximal Biliary Remnant [PDF]
Pediatric and Developmental Pathology, 2018 We hypothesized that if infection is the proximate cause of congenital biliary atresia, an appropriate response to antigen would occur in lymph nodes contiguous with the biliary remnant.

The extended Kasai portoenterostomy for biliary atresia: A preliminary report
Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons, 2016 Aims: In 1955, Professor Morio Kasai first performed a hepatic portoenterostomy. Since then, the procedure has changed the lives of children with biliary atresia (BA). We report our initial experience in performing "extended" Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE),

Mitochondrial Mutations in Cholestatic Liver Disease with Biliary Atresia [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Biliary atresia (BA) results in severe bile blockage and is caused by the absence of extrahepatic ducts. Even after successful hepatic portoenterostomy, a considerable number of patients are likely to show progressive deterioration in liver function ...

Anaesthesia for biliary atresia and hepatectomy in paediatrics
Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2012 The scope of this article precludes an ′in depth′ description of all liver problems and I will limit this review to anaesthesia for biliary atresia - a common hepatic problem in the very young - and partial hepatectomy in older children.

Hepatolithiasis in a 52-year-old native liver survivor with postoperative biliary atresia
Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2023 Hepatolithiasis is well known to be a late complication after biliary reconstruction. However, there were few reports regarding hepatolithiasis in late complications of long-term, native liver survivors in postoperative patients of biliary atresia. Here,
