However, newer Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs suggest that starting feeding earlier may help children recover faster. In this study, children undergoing surgery for biliary atresia or choledochal cyst will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will start oral liquids within 24 hours after surgery and gradually progress to normal feeding as tolerated (early feeding group). The other group will receive conventional care, where feeding is started after more than 48 hours once bowel activity has returned.
