Abstract：Biliary atresia (BA) is a kind of disease of unknown etiology, characterized by progressive inflammation and fibrosis of obstructive biliary diseases. Kasai portoenterostomy is the only method to treat BA. However, about 80% of the patients treated by Kasai operation still need liver transplantation in the future. Many factors affect the survival of autologous liver in children with BA after Kasai operation, including the types of BA, laparoscopic Kasai surgery or traditional open surgery, patient’s age at surgery, condition of liver function, occurrence of cholangitis, jaundice clearance, using steroids and central hospitalization. This article reviews the factors that affect the survival of autologous liver in patients with BA after Kasai surgery.
