Summary

Ulcerative colitis can be cured by surgery, and the question of how long conservative therapy should be maintained can be easily answered. It should last as long as there is no indication for surgery. In cases of a colitis-associated cancer, the indication is already the presence of low-grade dysplasia. Rectal cancer can be resected and reconstructed with an ileoanal pouch in UICC I and II down to 3 cm from the dentate line. In cecal tumors lymphadenectomy should be performed under preservation of the ileocolic artery. As for refractory colitis an active course of more than 2–4 episodes per year should not be tolerated and permanently active colitis for no more than 6 months. Surgery is also indicated in emergencies with intractable bleeding after a transfusion of more than 4 units of blood and in toxic courses after therapy-resistance for more than 48 h.

Zusammenfassung

Die Colitis ulcerosa ist chirurgisch heilbar. Entscheidend für die interdisziplinäre Langzeittherapie ist die Wahl des richtigen Operationszeitpunktes zwischen akuter Entzündung, Medikamentennebenwirkungen und Karzinomgefahr. Hinsichtlich der Problematik Colitis-Karzinom, Epitheldysplasien sollte bei einer entsprechenden Risikokonstellation und niedriggradigen Epitheldysplasien die Indikation zur Operation gestellt werden. Bei therapierefraktärem Verlauf und Nebenwirkungen sollte die Indikation zur Operation bei 2–4 Schüben pro Jahr bzw. einer Dauertherapie von mehr als ½ Jahr gestellt werden. Im Notfall sollte bei einer Blutung mit einem Erythrozyten-verbrauch von mehr als 4 Konserven/24 h operiert werden. Im Falle eines toxischen Verlaufes hingegen sollte bei ausbleibender Remission von mehr als 48 h die Operationsindikation erfolgen.
