Abstract:
As long as our understanding of ulcerative colitis is too limited to allow a more specific, disease-targeted treatment, surgery will play an important role in the management of these patients. Careful interdisciplinary evaluation and counselling of patients with ulcerative colitis will permit to achieve the goals on an individual basis with maximum safety. Restorative proctocolectomy with an IPAA has evolved as the procedure of choice among four basic surgical options because it appears to be safe and carries a low mortality. Although the associated morbidity is not negligible, functional results are generally good and patient satisfaction is high.
