Hepatobiliary Manifestations Following Two-Stages Elective Laparoscopic Restorative Proctocolectomy for Patients With Ulcerative Colitis. A Prospective Observational Study.

Hepatobiliary Disease

Several studies using different methodological approach have revealed incomplete, old and conflicting data on the course of hepatobiliary manifestations after surgery. authors conducted a prospective observational study to evaluate the role of LRP on the course of hepatobiliary manifestations for a better knowledge of these manifestations that is necessary to improve their management.also, to evaluate the role of surgery on prevention of liver damage from progression of the disease.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) prevalence is expected to reach 1% of the population in many regions over the next decade. despite the fact that the primary clinical manifestations of IBD are centred in the gastrointestinal tract, 25-40% of IBD patients develop at least one extraintestinal manifestation (EIM). Hepatobiliary manifestations constitute one of the most common EIMs in IBD . Hepatobiliary manifestations are much more commonly associated with ulcerative colitis (UC) and include primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), fatty liver, cholelithiasis, primary biliary cholangitis, portal vein thrombosis, and hepatic abscess. Most UC patients can be managed medically, but a minority requires proctocolectomy. Two-stage laparoscopic proctocolectomy (LPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is a cure for colitis, but its effect on hepatobiliary diseases is controversial.
