Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of laparoscope in the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive jaundice in infants. Methods 52 cases of obstructive jaundice were diagnosed and treated under laparoscope. Results 2 cases were converted to open operation because of a lot of ascitic fluid. The diagnosis of other 50 cases was confirmed under laparoscopic cholangiography, including biliary atresia in 33 cases, bile duct hypoplasia in 10 ones and cholestasis in 7 ones. Hepatic portal-intestinal anastomosis was operated on 43 patients. Liver biopsy was done in 38 cases. Biliary duct cannula and irrigation were performed in 9 cases. Conclusions Laparoscope is an accurate and reliable technique in the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive jaundice in infants and it can avoid open surgery for infants with cholestasis.
