A member asked:
What medical procedure or surgery may i need to help control my ulcerative colitis? what are the procedures names and how are the done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UC operations: Depending upon the extent of disease, age of patient, biopsies, and patient desires, patients with uc often undergo either a complete proctocolectomy (removal of rectum and colon), total colectomy with preservation of some or all of rectum. Occasionally we recommend a diverting ileostomy (small bowel ostomy) either permanent or temporary. This is complex. Detailed discussion is needed.
