Abstract:
Objective To evaluate factors influencing long-term survival of biliary atresia patients receiving Kasai procedure and the prevention and treatment of surgical complications.Methods Among 97 biliary atresia patients undergoing Kasai or Suruga operation from Mar 1989 to Mar 1999, 35 cases have survived over five years.These 35 cases were classified intraoperatively into type Ⅱ (4 cases) and type Ⅲ (31 cases).Procedures included hepaticojejunostomy (12 cases), Suruga operation (hepaticojejunostomy with a jejunal fistula in 21 cases), hepaticocystomy (2 cases).Six patients underwent second hepaticojejunostomy because of porta hepatis obstruction.Results (1) Eighteen patients suffered from early cholangiolitis, and four cases developed late cholangiolitis, 5-8 years after closing the ascending stoma.(2) Five cases presented upper digestive tract hemorrhage caused by portal hypertension.(3) All patients were followed up from 5 to 15 years with 2 deaths.Conclusion Conventional surgical procedures still take important part in treating biliary atresia before liver transplantation is popularized.Factors influencing long term survival of patients receiving Kasai′s operation include age at operation, pathological classification of extrahepatic bile duct, with or without cholangitis after operation, and portal hypertension.
