No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study evaluated laparoscopic (videosurgery) versus conventional (open surgery) Kasai portoenterostomy (anastomosis of small intestine to the liver hilus) in children with biliary atresia. The study was stopped due to lower survival with native liver 6 months after the laparoscopic operation. Follow-up after 24 months confirmed superior results after conventional operation.
