PURPOSE: Recent studies demonstrate the success of Kasai portoenterostomy for biliary atresia (BA) is linearly related to infant age at time of Kasai. We sought to review the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic needle micropuncture cholangiogram with concurrent core liver biopsy (if needed) for expedited exclusion of BA in patients with direct conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
METHODS: Expedited laparoscopic cholangiogram and liver biopsy were instituted at our facility for infants with direct hyperbilirubinemia for whom clinical exam and laboratory workup failed to diagnose. A retrospective chart review was performed in infants <1 year with hyperbilirubinemia from 2016 to 2021. Demographics, preoperative evaluation, procedure details, and complications were reviewed.
RESULTS: Two hundred ninety-seven infants with unspecified jaundice were identified, of which, 86 (29%) required liver biopsy. Forty-seven percutaneous liver biopsies were obtained including 8 (17%) in whom BA could not be excluded. Laparoscopic cholangiogram was attempted in 47 infants following basic workup; BA was diagnosed in 22 infants (47%) of which 3 were <18 days old. Biliary patency was demonstrated laparoscopically in 22 of 25 (88%); 3 (12%) required conversion to open cholangiogram. Infants with percutaneous liver biopsy had an average delay of 3 days (range: 2-36) to cholangiogram. Preoperative studies and liver biopsy alone did not reliably exclude the diagnosis of BA.
CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic cholangiogram with liver biopsy is a safe procedure resulting in the confirmation or exclusion of BA in infants. Forty-seven percent of infants who underwent laparoscopic cholangiogram were found to have BA; those who were surgical candidates underwent Kasai during the same operation.
