Surgery of Biliary Atresia [PDF]
Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive fibro-obliterative cholangiopathy of unclear etiology affecting varying degrees of both extra- and intrahepatic biliary tree resulting in obstructive bile flow and cholestasis in neonates. The diagnostic work-up is designed to diagnose or rule out BA without any unnecessary delay.
