Abstract
Providing some simple rules are applied, severe attacks of ulcerative colitis can be effectively managed with virtually no mortality. A proportion of patients (1 in 5) will come to surgery but the guidelines for surgical intervention are now clear. Joint management between medical and surgical teams is important and, possibly, the combination of a surgically aggressive physician with a medicallyminded surgeon is the ideal.
