Abstract
The results of treatment of congenital biliary atresia (CBA) have been remarkably improved in recent years, and there are many reports of survivals without jaundice after surgery. However, it has become clear that the prognosis of these survivors was not always good and that, in spite of establishment of bile flow, a liver cirrhosis and a portal hypertension developed in quite a few patients who died of hepatic failure or variceal rupture. The purpose of this paper is to report the results of the long-term follow-up study after radical operation for CBA.
