Abstract
Granulomatous colitis may present as a limited segmental process or involve the entire colon and rectum. The features that lead to surgery are strictures with partial obstruction, intractability with diarrhea and bleeding, fistula with abscess formation, and perianal disease. Patients with segmental disease and those with rectal sparing are usually treated with resection and anastomosis.
