Abstract
Four patients with ulcerative colitis apparently limited to the rectum and distal sigmoid colon were treated by excision of the distal large bowel only, during the years 1964-1975 at St Mark's Hospital. Two patients have remained well since with no further treatment and the other two have had symptoms of colonic disease and have responded to medical measures.
