Role of hepatic portocholecystostomy ('gallbladder Kasai') in treating infants with biliary atresia.

摘要: The aim of this study is to compare liver function and cholangitis episodes during the first year postoperatively between patients who undergo hepatic portocholecystostomy (HPC) portoenterostomy (HPE). Records six underwent HPC for biliary atresia (BA) 27 HPE BA were reviewed retrospectively. Comparison was done patient's total bilirubin, albumin, international normalized ratio values preoperatively at 3 months, 6 1 postoperatively. also occurrence ascending in rates transplant mortality long-term follow-up. Preoperative laboratory two groups not significantly different. At had lower bilirubin levels compared with those (HPC 0.8 +/- 0.96, n = 4; 4.93 7.73, 21; P < 0.05). No other or cholangitis, transplant, showed a significant difference. Those months This may suggest that be superior operative technique are candidates operation.
