Any new medecines or treatment or surgery for ulcerative colitis ?
Mar 12, 2013

Dr. Wajdi Hamdan Surgery
well, definitely, like most diseases , there are always new drugs and regimens. Concerning UC, the approach depends on the extent, severity as well as the duration of the disease. New drugs (Biologics) have shown excellent results in inducing and maitaining remission. Surgery when indicated (Uncontroled disease, dysplasia i.e cells become precancerous...) is curative. A patient with UC needs to be continuously followed medically to insure he is recieving the best care.
