Long-term results in treatment of biliary atresia.
The 10-year follow-up results of operation for biliary atresia from 11 pediatric surgical clinics are evaluated; 638 cases were analyzed. The results for non-correctable biliary atresia before Kasaï's operation were uniformly bad, and even now only a very small percentage of the cases is cured.
