Peri Kasai Portoenterostomy Anchoring of the Jejunal Loop

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. Group B included 13 infants and had the assumed modification. Wider dissection of fibrous portal plate was considered in both groups. After completion of KPE, the jejunal loop anchored to Glisson capsule of liver at porta hepatis in group B.
