👨‍🔬Surgery is recommended for severe UC that doesn’t respond to therapy or those with life-threatening complications. If you have surgery to correct UC, there are two options to allow waste removal from your body. With an ileostomy, a surgeon creates an opening in your abdominal wall and diverts the small intestines through this hole. An external bag attached to the outside of your abdomen collects waste. An ileo-anal pouch may be surgically constructed at the end of your small intestines and attached to your a**s, allowing for more natural waste removal.
