Abstract

Biliary atresia (BA) is characterised by fibro-obliteration of the biliary tree, presenting in infancy with obstructive jaundice. The Kasai portoenterostomy (‘Kasai’) surgery aims to re-establish bile flow by creating a bilioenteric conduit. However, liver transplantation (LT) is often required; BA remains the lead indication for LT in paediatrics.
