Intractable pruritus secondary to bile salts retention in Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) can be relieved surgically by diverting bile drainage from ileum to reduce bile salts reabsorption into entero-hepatic circulation. We are reporting on the successful biliary diversion in a child with PFIC, with the use of the appendix as a conduit to drain bile from gallbladder to the colon (cholecysto-appendicostomy).
