Ulcerative colitis. Which makes patients happier, surgery or anti-TNF therapy?

Taku Kobayashi1, Toshifumi Hibi1.   

Abstract

Quality of life and disability have been compared in patients with ulcerative colitis who were undergoing one of the two current major treatments of choice, proctocolectomy or anti-TNF therapy. The only significant differences between the two groups were increased use of antidiarrhoeal medication and stool frequency in those who underwent surgery.
