Prognostic factors indicative of a favorable long-term outcome consist of: (1) early age at operation; (2) bilirubin excretion of at least 6 mg daily 1 month after operation; (3) favorable hepatic histology at the time of operation; and (4) low incidence of postoperative cholangitis. Jaundice-free long-term survival is now attained in from one-fourth to one-third of patients undergoing Kasai hepaticoportoenterostomy by experienced surgeons in the Western hemisphere. In many long-term survivors there is normalization of liver function, improvement in hepatic histology, and resolution of the complications of portal hypertension. Most patients in this category have made a normal adjustment to their disease and lead active adolescent and adult lives.
