In brief
Authors respond to technical commentary on their modified Kasai hepatoportoenterostomy approach for biliary atresia. The response clarifies that their study focused specifically on minimally invasive modifications rather than providing comprehensive procedural details.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
We wish to thank Medappil, et al. for their interest in our work [1]. The technical modifications highlighted in our study were not intended to be exhaustive, and we limited our detailed descriptions only to the aspects of the Kasai hepatoportoenterostomy (KPE) that were modified and aimed at minimizing invasiveness.
