Abstract:
Intrahepatic biliary-enteric anastomosis is rarely practiced in pediatric surgery. The authors report on two children who have been successfully treated using this method. First described by Longmire and Sandford in 1948, intrahepatic biliary-enteric anastomosis is possible in children. This procedure is only indicated as a last recourse for circumstances in which the extrahepatic biliary tree is completely obstructed.
