Summary

Segmental primary sclerosing cholangitis can be treated with hepaticojejunostomy, offering long-term survival. This surgical approach may be curative for localized disease, potentially avoiding the need for liver transplantation.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Sclerosing Cholangitis Research

Background:

  • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare chronic liver disease.
  • Liver transplantation is the standard treatment for symptomatic PSC.
  • Surgical options like hepaticojejunostomy for PSC are not well-defined.

Observation:

  • This study reports on three patients with segmental PSC.
  • Patients underwent hepaticojejunostomy with partial common bile duct resection.
  • Preoperative diagnosis was challenging, with two patients suspected of cholangioma.

Findings:

  • Segmental PSC was diagnosed during surgery.
  • All three patients achieved long-term survival after hepaticojejunostomy.
  • Local resection of discrete PSC lesions can be curative.

Implications:

  • Hepaticojejunostomy may be a viable curative treatment for segmental PSC.
  • Surgical resection can offer long-term survival and good quality of life.
  • This approach may obviate the need for liver transplantation in select PSC cases.
