Surgical management of intractable cholangitis following successful Kasai procedure
Abstract
Anastomotic revision/resection procedures were carried out in five patients in whom refractory cholangitis jeopardized an apparently favorable surgical outcome after portoenterostomy for biliary atresia. Mobilization and displacement of the liver improves exposure of the porta hepatis. All five patients remain jaundice-free seven months to 4 yr after reoperation.
