BACKGROUND: Hepatolithiasis after hepatic portoenterostomy for @entity2876 has been paid little attention, with only 22 reported cases. @entity1 AND METHODS: Fifteen @entity1 underwent living-related liver transplantation for @entity2876 after hepatic portoenterostomy in our hospital between 1998 and 2004. The resected livers were examined for the existence and location of hepatolithiasis, composition of the @entity1608 , and @entity2348 of bile. The relation between a history of @entity255 and the presence of hepatolithiasis was analyzed. RESULTS: Intrahepatic @entity1608 were found in 8 (53%) of 15 @entity1 . The @entity1608 consisted of almost 100% @entity460 bilirubinate. Calculi were found in bile lakes in 8 @entity1 . Bacteria were present in the bile in 8 (53%) of the 15 @entity1 . Of the 8 @entity1 , 7 (88%) had a history of ascending @entity255 . CONCLUSIONS: Hepatolithiasis occurs after hepatic portoenterostomy for @entity2876 more frequently than previously thought. @entity1157 and possibly bile infection are the main causes of @entity1608 formation.
