ABSTRACT
Obtaining adequate exposure of the portal plate in cases with biliary atresia can tax the ingenuity of the surgeon. The successful completion of a hepatic portoenterostomy depends on it. Mobilising the liver and dislocating it into an ex vivo-like position on the anterior abdominal wall simplifies this step of the operation. It achieves maximal visualisation and access to the anatomy of the liver port. When used correctly by the surgeon this technique is not complicated by hepatic or caval blood flow occlusion. Its use in over 40 clinical cases has not resulted in any major mishap.
