Kasai 's portoentrostomy
What is Kasai 's portoentrostomy?
Kasai portoenterostomy, also known as the Kasai procedure, is a surgical treatment for infants born with a rare liver condition called biliary atresia. Biliary atresia is a congenital condition in which the bile ducts, which carry bile from the liver to the small intestine, are either absent or severely narrowed. As a result, bile cannot flow out of the liver, leading to liver damage, cirrhosis, and eventual liver failure.
