  • Title: The importance of hepatic lymph drainage in experimental biliary atresia. Effect of omentopexy on prevention of cholangitis.
    Author: Hirsig J, Rickham PP, Briner J.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1979 Apr; 14(2):142-5. PubMed ID: 458536.
    Abstract:
    It is believed that partial destruction of the hepatic lymph drainage during the operation of hepato-portoenterostomy is probably the cause of postoperative attacks of cholangitis. Experimental evidence is described that appears to show that omentopexy to the porta hepatis will aid hepatic lymph drainage and may thus prevent postoperative cholangitis.
