Core Tip	Children with biliary atresia comprise the majority of patients undergoing liver transplantation worldwide. Timely portoenterostomy can postpone or even remove the need for liver transplantation. Current data are not conclusive as to whether performing a portoenterostomy negatively affects the transplantation procedure. In the present study, we compared the outcomes of liver transplantation in patients with biliary atresia with or without prior portoenterostomy in a single center. Our results indicate that it does not affect the outcomes.
