Question
Will children with biliary atresia regret their decision to undergo liver transplantation?
Answer
For children with biliary atresia, liver transplantation is a treatment option. If the bile ducts inside and outside the liver are completely blocked, or if liver cirrhosis develops due to delayed surgery, and the hepatojejunostomy is ineffective, then a liver transplant may be necessary. In these cases, liver transplantation can be a life-saving surgery. However, whether to undergo liver transplantation should be decided by a specialist doctor based on the child’s specific condition.
