Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) occurs in approximately 10 % of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), but the outcome of reconstructive surgery is not clear. The purpose of this study was to determine the functional outcome after surgery, frequency of pouchitis, complications and failure-rate in UC-PSC patients compared to patients with UC alone. Both ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and ileo-rectal anastomosis (IRA) were studied.
