Surgical outcome in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis: A case-control study

PSC-associated IBD patients after restorative proctocolectomy have a higher risk of neoplasia/cancer in the resected specimen, postoperative pelvic sepsis, and higher long-term mortality. Functional and quality of life remains similar in IBD patients after restorative proctocolectomy with or without associated PSC in the follow-up. However, patients with IBD and PSC have a significantly poorer survival than patients with no associated PSC after restorative proctocolectomy.
