Liver transplantation is now a reality in Singapore following the first successful liver transplant operation performed in September 1990. It opens up a new lease of life for children with biliary atresia who would otherwise ultimately die. In the management of biliary atresia, liver transplantation must complement the Kasai operation in order that maximum benefits to the patient is achieved. A review of both the procedures is presented and a management policy for such patients outlined.
1990年9月新加坡首例肝脏移植手术成功实施后，肝脏移植如今已成为现实。这为患有胆道闭锁的儿童开启了新的生命希望，否则他们最终会死亡。在胆道闭锁的治疗中，肝脏移植必须与葛西手术相辅相成，以便为患者带来最大益处。本文对这两种手术进行了综述，并概述了此类患者的治疗策略。
