متن کاملThe Role of Appendix in the Management of Biliary Atresia Associated with Bowel Atresia
Biliary atresia is characterized by the progressive obliteration of extra- and intrahepatic biliary duct system leading to the obstruction of bile flow in infancy.

The incidence is higher in Asian countries than in Europe.
