Core Tip	Liver transplantation indicated in end-stage liver disease caused by progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 is often performed with biliary diversion (BD). Although effectively preventing allograft steatosis, traditional BD increases post-operative infection risk. Here, we present a case of an 11-month-old progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 patient receiving liver transplantation and BD using appendix to prevent post-operative infection. The proximal end and distal end of appendix were connected with intrahepatic biliary duct and colon respectively. Post-operative exams confirmed successful BD and absence of allograft steatosis. Thus, using appendix for BD might be a new surgical approach preventing allograft steatosis and post-transplant infection.
