Jaundice in Early Infancy: The Surgical Aspects

In this paper those conditions which cause jaundice in early infancy and are of direct interest to the surgeon are considered. While the treatment of this group is essentially surgical, an accurate diagnosis can only he made after a careful consideration of all aspects of the case in order to exclude the commoner causes of jaundice in early infancy and in particular to differentiate between the two principal causes of obstructive jaundice in young infants.
