(Sub)total emergency colectomy is required in the event of complicated severe acute colitis: colectasis, perforation, hemorrhage, organ failure. Corticosteroid therapy is the reference treatment for uncomplicated severe acute colitis, while infliximab and ciclosporin are 2nd-line treatments. At each step, before and after each line of treatment failure, surgery should be considered as an option. In cases refractory to medical treatment, the choice between surgery and change in medication must weigh the chronic symptoms associated with the disease against the risks of postoperative complications and functional sequelae inherent to surgery. Detection of dysplastic lesions necessitates chromoendoscopic imaging with multiple biopsies and anatomopathological verification. Endoscopic treatment of these lesions remains reserved for selected patients. These different indications call for multidisciplinary medical-surgical discussion. Total coloproctectomy with ileo-anal anastomosis (TCP-IAA) is the standard surgery, and it holds out hope for healing. Modalities depend on patient characteristics, previous emergency colectomy, and presence of dysplasia. It may be carried out in one, in two modified, or in three phases. The main complications are anastomotic fistula, short-term pouch-related fistula, ileo-anal pouch syndrome, pouchitis and long-term digestive and sexual disorders. For selected cases, an alternative can consist in total colectomy with ileo-rectal anastomosis or permanent terminal ileostomy. The objective of this update is to clarify the indications, modalities, and results of surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis in accordance with the most recent data in the literature.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49271,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visceral Surgery","volume":"161 3","pages":"Pages 182-193"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141423754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Endoscopy and endorectal ultrasonography are essential for the precise initial definition of these small cancers. During endoscopy, the depth of the lesion can be estimated using virtual chromoendoscopy with magnification, thereby aiding the assessment of the possibilities of local excision. Current international recommendations indicate completion proctectomy after wide local excision for cases where the pathologic examination reveals poorly-differentiated lesions, lymphovascular invasion, grade 2 or 3 tumor budding, and incomplete resection. But debate persists regarding whether the depth of submucosal invasion can accurately predict the risk of lymph node spread. Recent data from the literature suggest that the depth of submucosal invasion should no longer, by itself, be an indication for additional oncological surgery. Adjuvant radio-chemotherapy could be an alternative to completion proctectomy in patients with pT1 rectal cancer and unfavorable histopathological criteria.
