How long does the surgery for biliary atresia in newborns take?

Patient's question:

My friend just had a baby, but the baby was found to have biliary atresia, so we are all very worried for him. We want to consult about biliary atresia in babies. Could you please tell me how long the surgery for biliary atresia typically takes?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you; typically, it takes about 2 hours for biliary atresia patients to exhibit symptoms such as white stools. However, since each person's condition is different, an exact time cannot be provided here. For such diseases, it is essential to receive active treatment to improve the prognosis and prepare the baby for surgery. It is recommended that you seek surgery at a more specialized hospital.
