Abstract

Portal biliopathy is more commonly seen with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction. Ideal treatment for portal biliopathy is portosystemic shunt surgery, followed by bilioenteric anastomosis if biliopathy does not get resolved after shunt surgery. In cases where shunt surgery is not feasible, in selected cases with dilated segment 3 duct and atrophied left lobe, Roux-enY hepaticojejunostomy with segment 3 duct can be done on the surface of the liver. Combination of atrophied left lobe and dilated segment 3 duct should be sought in such difficult cases.
