Liver cirrhosis following surgery for congenital biliary atresia can be treated surgically. Cirrhosis that develops after surgical treatment of congenital biliary atresia is usually caused by progressively worsening bile stasis, leading to cholestatic cirrhosis. Timely treatment is necessary to prevent the condition from deteriorating over time and adversely affecting health.
