Surgical Outcomes in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis–Related Liver Disease

Patients with chronic liver disease have a higher surgical risk compared with those without. For patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), literature has shown that earlier surgical intervention for those with severe IBD has led to better outcomes regarding mortality and remission. For patients who have both IBD and chronic liver disease, management can be complex. The outcomes in this population of patients who undergo surgical intervention have not been thoroughly explored. This case series aims to evaluate surgical outcomes in patients with a diagnosis of both IBD and primary sclerosing cholangitis chronic liver disease.
