A two-month-old baby underwent a successful Kasai surgery at the Wockhardt Group of Hospitals at Mira Road in Thane district in the far suburbs of Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The baby was noticed to have increasing jaundice starting from 6 weeks of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A systematic assessment and diagnosis showed that the baby suffered from rare congenital liver disease called Biliary Atresia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a Kasai surgery, the baby presently now three months old and is accepting feeds, and passing regular stools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The baby now weighs 4.3 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parents, residents of Mira Road, were elated on the birth of their first baby, a boy, Krisha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He developed jaundice six weeks after of birth. His parents noticed symptoms such as jaundice, pale stools, bloated stomach, dark urine and excessive irritability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They consulted Dr Samir Sheikh and Dr Lalit Verma about the baby’s health. He was admitted to Wockhardt Hospitals in Mira Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Verma said: \u201cAt 6 weeks, the baby came presented with jaundice and symptoms such as the increased size of liver on sonography and liver biopsy was conducted that indicated the baby suffered from a rare congenital liver disease known as Biliary Atresia (BA).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that it is a condition wherein the connecting duct between the liver and intestines is either absent or malformed since birth with an unknown cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bile becomes stagnant in the liver and causes permanent liver damage. It is a fatal congenital liver disease found only 1 in 5,000 which goes undetected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After counselling the family, the baby was scheduled for Kasai portoenterostomy procedure as it has to be performed within the 90 days of diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the surgery, the surgeon\u2019s Dr Kant and Dr Pankaj recreated a duct using a small intestine and then attached it to the liver. This provides a path that can allow bile to drain from the liver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surgery is not a cure for biliary atresia but it helps the liver work better for many years as it corrects many of the symptoms caused by the atresia. The surgery lasted for 4 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The baby was in the ICU for 2 days and then shifted to the normal ward where he stayed for 5 days
before getting discharged. The baby is tolerating feeds, passing stool and weighs 4.3 kgs on a Follow up after surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur world came crashing down on knowing about Krisha\u2019s condition. Fortunately, he received
timely treatment at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road. We thank the doctors for saving his life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krisha is back on track now,\u201d the baby\u2019s father said.  The Kasai procedure involves removing the blocked bile ducts and gallbladder and replacing them with a segment of your child’s own small intestine. This segment of intestine is sewn to the liver…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
