Peri Kasai Portoenterostomy Anchoring of the Jejunal Loop

Overview

the study of the effect o the hanging of the jejunal loop to the peri KPE Glisson capsule on the rate of bile drainage and requirement of liver transplantation

To evaluate the effect of anchoring jejunal loop to Glisson capsule of liver after completion of modified Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) on the frequency of attacks of cholangitis and the overall incidence of native liver survival. Methods: Retrospective study included 29 infants diagnosed as biliary atresia (BA). They were subjected to modified KPE. Two subgroups were present. Group A included 16 infants and had KPE.
