Early surgical intervention for ulcerative colitis (UC) complications like toxic megacolon is crucial. Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch reconstruction offers promising results despite potential complications, preventing malignant changes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Background:

  • Ulcerative colitis (UC) often presents to surgeons only during severe complications.
  • Complications include toxic megacolon, perforation, hemorrhage, obstruction, and malignancy.
  • Conservative treatment may fail, necessitating urgent surgical intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of urgent surgical treatment for severe ulcerative colitis complications.
  • To assess the efficacy of total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch construction in managing UC emergencies.
  • To highlight the importance of timely surgical intervention in preventing UC-related morbidity and mortality.

Main Methods:

  • Urgent surgical management was performed on six young female patients with severe UC complications.

  • The surgical procedure involved total proctocolectomy.
  • Ileal pouch reconstruction was completed using a complete stapling technique.

    • Main Results:

    • All six patients underwent urgent total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch construction.
    • Despite a high rate of complications associated with the emergency surgeries, the outcomes were promising.
    • The chosen surgical technique demonstrated feasibility in managing complex UC cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Early surgical intervention is the optimal strategy for managing ulcerative colitis, particularly to prevent malignant transformation and severe complications.
    • Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch reconstruction is a viable and promising treatment option for patients with advanced UC.
    • Prompt surgical indication improves patient outcomes and reduces long-term risks associated with ulcerative colitis.
