[Surgical treatment of nonspecific ulcerative colitis in children].

The experience of treatment of 285 children with nonspecific ulcerative colitis enabled the authors to conclude that the surgical treatment should be more widely recommended in children with severe and even mild nonspecific ulcerative colitis when the conservative treatment proved to be ineffective. They believe that such operations should be fulfilled in two steps: the first step consists in a complete removal of the colon and anastomosing of the separated part of the ileum to the rectum stump. The second step should liquidate the ileostoma and repair the continuity of the intestine.
