    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare, chronic liver disease characterized by bile duct inflammation and fibrosis.
    • The incidence and surgical management of PSC, particularly in relation to cholangiocarcinoma, require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence of PSC in patients undergoing biliary operations.
    • To evaluate the surgical indications and outcomes for patients with PSC.
    • To assess the role of liver transplantation in managing advanced PSC.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of biliary operations performed between 1948-1979 and a subsequent 5-year period.
    • Analysis of surgical indications including differential diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma, decompression, gallstones, and distal bile duct strictures.

  • Assessment of outcomes including radiologic interventions and liver transplantation.

    • Main Results:

    • A notable increase in PSC cases was observed in the recent 5-year period compared to the earlier 1948-1979 period (15 cases vs. 7 cases).
    • Surgical interventions were primarily for differential diagnosis, decompression, gallstone management, and suspected cholangiocarcinoma.
    • Invasive radiologic dilatation was frequently unsuccessful; liver transplantation was performed in two patients with two more pending.

    Conclusions:

    • The incidence of primary sclerosing cholangitis appears to be increasing, necessitating careful surgical evaluation.
    • Surgical management focuses on diagnosis and palliation, with liver transplantation representing a critical therapeutic option for end-stage disease.
