Abstract
N men with ulcerative colitis, and in patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent one-stage operations. Factors that were not statistically significant but that appeared to contribute to delay in healing were younger age of patients and presence of anal fistulas. A comparison is made with the results of other series, and recommendations for treatment and prevention are presented.
