    Author: Ong TH.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2001 Nov; 36(11):1613-4. PubMed ID: 11685684.
    Abstract:
    An infant with biliary atresia had the right side of his liver covered with a sodium hyaluronate-based bioresorbable membrane during his initial Kasai portoenterostomy procedure. When his peritoneal cavity was entered 10.6 months (317 days) later for a liver transplant operation there was a remarkable absence of intraabdominal adhesions leading to a smooth operation and an uncomplicated recovery.
