Abstract

Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare disease in Denmark (population ∼ 5.5 million) and there has been some controversy on how smaller countries should manage such conditions to obtain the best possible outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of primary surgery (i. e., Kasai portoenterostomy [KP]) over a prolonged period of time, during which one center has become the primary referral unit for the entire country.
