Ulcerative colitis Treatment
in Chennai

 Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This affects the rectum and colon(large intestine) linings. Medications will be used as first-line treatment for mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. In conditions where medications are not adequate, our expertised surgeon, Dr. Preethi Mrinalini will assess the severity of the disease and consider factors such as the extent of inflammation and overall health of the patient to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. This can involve either removing the entire colon and rectum – total colectomy, or removing the diseased portion of the colon – partial colectomy. The surgeon performs the surgery with primary goals such as controlling inflammation, relieving symptoms, promoting mucosal healing, and maintaining long-term remission.
