Summary 1. Six cases of ulcerative colitis treated by ileostomy and primary proctocolectomy are reviewed. (a)Two cases showed chronic ulcerative colitis, complicated by stricture formation. In one, the stricture was malignant. (b)Two cases showed a sub‐acute or chronic relapsing ulcerative colitis. In both, the history was long, and in both radiological studies at intervals showed proximal spread of the disease. (c)Two cases showed an acute or fulminating ulcerative colitis. The history was short, and the patients gravely ill at the time of surgical intervention.
