title: [Ulcero-hemorrhagic rectocolitis: operative morbidity and mortality. Apropos of 100 cases].
abstract: We performed a retrospective analysis of morbidity and mortality in 100 cases of ulcerative colitis treated at the surgical care unit of the Ibn Sina hospital over a 10 year period from 1984 to 1994. One major complication, usually infection, was observed in 40% of the cases. Overall mortality was 22%, a rate higher than the larger published series. The main factor incriminated in our study ; besides surgical circumstances, was the delay in care, including in the intensive care unit. It must be concluded that medical and surgical management must be initiated as soon as a flare up is diagnosed.
