    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Colorectal Diseases
    • Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Background:

    • Nonspecific proctitis/proctosigmoiditis is a long-recognized clinical entity.
    • Previous understanding lacked definitive classification within broader gastrointestinal conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To re-evaluate the classification of nonspecific proctitis/proctosigmoiditis.
    • To determine its relationship with ulcerative colitis based on extensive clinical data.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of clinical data accumulated over 25 years.
    • Comparison of disease characteristics with ulcerative colitis extending proximally.

    Main Results:

    • Nonspecific proctitis/proctosigmoiditis is clinically indistinguishable from ulcerative colitis.
    • Disease extent is the primary distinguishing characteristic.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonspecific proctitis/proctosigmoiditis should be considered a manifestation of ulcerative colitis.
    • Classification is based on the anatomical extent of colonic inflammation.
