A 24-day-old female newborn with persistent jaundice and acholic stool was diagnosed by laparoscopic cholecystcholangiogram. A catheter was inserted through a small incision at the fundus of the gallbladder. With definitive diagnosis of biliary atresia, laparotomy was performed, and Kasai's operation was carried out successfully.
