Abstract
The landscape of management of ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease, continues to change with advancement in pharmaceutical options as well as clinical treatment targets. Ulcerative colitis primarily involves the superficial layers of the large bowel, and cause active inflammation that can affect the colon from the rectum to the cecum in a relapsing and a remitting course. In this review, we provide evidence-based guidance on the selection of appropriate medical therapies based on individual patient and disease characteristics, with a focus on biologics and small molecules. We also review the role of surgery and management of acute severe ulcerative colitis.
