Mild cases treated with sulfasalizine, mesalazine used. Once remission accure you have to maintain once daily dose adviced. You can use steroids.

Indications for elective surgery in ulcerative colitis include (1) long-term steroid dependence, (2) dysplasia or adenocarcinoma found on screening biopsy, (3) and disease present for 7-10 years.
