title: [Two-stage surgical treatment of acute complicated ulcerative colitis: indications, observations and results (author's transl)].
abstract: Among 195 patients with ulcerative colitis 30 had acute complications--toxic megacolon with or without perforations. In 16 primary treatment consisted of proctocolectomy in one stage: all patients died. Since 1971, 14 were treated by primary multiple enterostomies, with only three deaths. Indications for the latter procedure are given if after 48-72 hours of conservative treatment there is no response. Definitive treatment consists, almost without exception, of secondary proctocolectomy during the period of remission. Indications for the two-stage procedure should be extended to all acute cases requiring operation.
