Pediatric biliary tract problems
The biliary tract regulates the flow of digestive juices between the gallbladder (an organ that helps in digestion), the tubes in the liver that connect to the gallbladder, called the bile ducts, and the small intestine. When everything operates normally, babies start digesting food and having healthy bowel movements soon after birth.

Some of the disorders involving the biliary tract include:
- Biliary atresia

How are pediatric biliary tract problems treated?
There are many types of medical treatment for the disorders. Sometimes, surgery can help stop symptoms and repair any defects or damage.
