A New Era of Laparoscopic Revision of Kasai Portoenterostomy for the Treatment of Biliary Atresia
PURPOSE Kasai portoenterostomy is the standard therapy for biliary atresia (BA). If Kasai is unsuccessful, there is controversy over whether revision of Kasai restores adequate biliary drainage. Although there are several reports of laparoscopic Kasai (Lap-Kasai), none has described laparoscopic revision (Lap-revision). The purposes of this study were to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of...
متن کاملReview of redo-Kasai portoenterostomy for biliary atresia in the transition to the liver transplantation era
Portoenterostomy (PE) is the standard therapy for biliary atresia (BA). PE offers the chance of survival to children with BA. PE was the ultimate therapeutic modality for BA before liver transplantation (LT) was available. Failure of biliary drainage with PE was almost invariably fatal in children with BA. In such cases, redo-PE was performed to salvage patients following PE failure. PE remains...
متن کاملMaximizing Kasai portoenterostomy in the treatment of biliary atresia: medical and surgical options.
Biliary atresia (BA) remains one of the most challenging conditions in paediatric surgery. It has several possible causes, resulting in a range of different clinical scenarios.

Liver transplantation (cadaveric or living dono...
متن کاملPreoperative Serum IL-12p40 Is a Potential Predictor of Kasai Portoenterostomy Outcome in Infants with Biliary Atresia
The standard-of-care treatment for biliary atresia (BA) is surgical restoration of bile flow by Kasai portoenterostomy. We aimed to study serum interleukin- (IL-) 12p40, a natural antagonist for the proinflammatory IL-12p70, and its relation to surgical outcomes of BA. The study included 75 infants with neonatal cholestasis: BA group (n = 25), non-BA cholestasis group (n = 30), and neglected BA...
متن کاملLong survival ( 21 years ) after portoenterostomy for biliary atresia : A case report and review of complications
Long term survival for decades after portoenterostomy (Kasai procedure) for biliary atresia is rare and the association of portoenterostomy with liver cirrhosis is well known. Not much attention was given in the evaluation of the imaging features of cirrhosis caused by portoenterostomy as received by other known usual causes of cirrhosis. We presented a case of a Nigerian with confirmed biliary...
