Ulcerative Colitis SurgeryUlcerative colitis surgery will eventually be necessary for up to 4 out of every 10 people with ulcerative colitis. There are several types of ulcerative colitis surgery that can be used to remove the colon and rectum. These surgeries can include a proctocolectomy with standard ileostomy, a proctocolectomy with continent ileostomy, and an ileoanal anastomosis. For the most part, surgery is effective at curing a person's ulcerative colitis.
