Duct-to-Duct Versus Roux-en-Y in Liver Transplantation for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: When Evidence Leaves Room for Pragmatism

Key Points

• This research aims to compare two surgical techniques in liver transplantation for patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis.
• Analysis of surgical outcomes in liver transplantation
• Comparison of duct-to-duct and roux-en-y techniques
• Evaluation of postoperative complications and patient survival
• Utilization of biomarkers to assess liver function
• Both techniques show advantages in different circumstances
• Postoperative complications are comparable between the two methods
• Patient survival rates do not significantly differ between duct-to-duct and roux-en-y
• The choice of technique may depend on individual patient factors
