Core Tip	The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic portoenterostomy (Lap-PE) with those of laparotomy (Open-PE) at our single institution. Although the surgical operating time was longer, the lower blood loss and more favorable postsurgical recovery (shorter time to resume oral intake and time to drain removal as well as less postsurgical adhesion) were significant advantages of Lap-PE over Open-PE. There was no significant difference in native liver survival rates or short-term surgical outcomes between Lap PE and Open PE. Therefore, our study results support the efficacy of Lap-PE as a standard therapy.
