The Kasai procedure (hepatoportoenterostomy) is a major abdominal surgery performed in infants diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare condition in which the bile ducts outside the liver are blocked or absent from birth. The operation involves removing the damaged bile duct remnants and connecting a loop of the baby's own small intestine directly to the surface of the liver, creating a new pathway for bile to drain into the gut. It is typically performed as an open surgery and takes three to six hours under general anaesthesia. The procedure is not a cure but aims to restore bile flow, slow liver damage, and give the child the best chance of growing with their own liver for as long as possible. Earlier surgery — ideally before 60 days of age — gives the best outcomes.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
