About
Jan B.F. Hulscher is a leading pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on the long-term outcomes and optimal management of choledochal malformations (CCM) in children. His major contributions center on critically evaluating the standard surgical treatment—complete cyst excision—by investigating the significant long-term morbidity that patients face. In his highly cited 2020 paper, Hulscher makes a compelling plea for dedicated quality-of-life studies, arguing that the field must look beyond surgical success to understand the full impact of the disease and its treatment. Building on this, his influential 2022 work employed an international Delphi survey to systematically map the persistent controversies and lack of consensus among pediatric hepatobiliary surgeons and gastroenterologists worldwide. By identifying these key areas of debate, Hulscher’s research provides a crucial roadmap for future investigation, directly challenging the field to address unresolved questions about aetiology, pathophysiology, and optimal follow-up. His work is essential reading for any clinician or researcher seeking to improve the lifelong care of children with choledochal malformations.
