Purpose of the Study:
- To provide an evidence-based consensus on managing adult ulcerative colitis (UC).
- To detail medical treatment for acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC).
- To outline surgical management strategies for medically refractory UC.
Main Methods:
- Consensus development based on evidence review.
- Inclusion of preoperative optimization, surgical strategies, and technical considerations.
- Guidance on common clinical and surgical scenarios in UC management.
Main Results:
- Comprehensive recommendations for ASUC medical treatment.
- Detailed surgical management protocols for refractory UC.
- Practical advice for diverse clinical and surgical presentations.
Conclusions:
- These articles update the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation (ECCO) evidence-based recommendations for UC.
