[Current possibilities of the treatment of severe forms of nonspecific ulcerative colitis]

Treatment of patients with a severe form of nonspecific ulcer colitis with subtotal alteration of the colon is described. The disease was complicated by intestinal bleeding which could not be arrested by conservative therapy, so the Hartman operation was performed. Not traditional methods of treatment of ulcer colitis were used such as drainage of the thoracic lymph duct, lymphocytapheresis, lymphosorption, plasmapheresis which allowed to stabilize the patient's state and to perform radical proctectomy, subtotal colectomy with blind gut descended to the anal canal.
