Complications in pediatric hepatobiliary surgery

This review highlights the complications and their risk factors encountered in pediatric hepatobiliary surgery, specifically in the context of pediatric hepatic resection, excision of choledochal cyst and the Kasai hepatoportoenterostomy procedure for biliary atresia as well as other procedures potentially affecting the biliary tree. With the understanding that these are relatively rare procedures case reports and small case series are included in addition to larger series when available. The review focuses on publications in English over the past fifteen years.
