Please tell us about the baby's age, bilirubin levels and HIDA scan report for specific answer.

Generally Surgical treatment (Kasai Procedure) for Extra Hepatic Biliary Atresia should be done at least before 90 days of life to get biliary clearance. Otherwise Liver transplant is the only alternative option.
