Hepatoportoenterostomy surgery technique
Abstract
Biliary atresia (BA) is a pathology that causes jaundice in children because of an obstruction of the obliterated biliary tract. Despite being considered a rare disease, the incidence can reach 1/2400 live births in the Pacific region. The etiology is unknown. If untreated, it will lead to cirrhosis and death. Early operation (within 60 days after birth) is the most important prognostic factor. The objective of this article is to present the technical description step by step of a hepatoportoenterostomy operation in a female 61 days of age with BA.
Keywords: Biliary atresia; Hepatoportoenterostomy; Jaundice.
