Answer: Need to Take a Break from Meds It is possible to have surgery with ulcerative colitis, however you will need to stop any immunomodulating medications (DMARDS, infusions, etc) for one month prior to your procedure and at least one month after. If you have any wound healing complications following your surgery, this may delay restarting your UC medications. You will have to discuss this with for GI physician as not all patients with UC can stop their medications for that long, but there may be other medications (PO mesalamine) that can help stave off any acute flares.

Answer: Ulcerative colitis and surgery As long as your symptoms are well controlled and you are well nourished, surgery can be an option. Your doctor who manages your ulcerative colitis may have to work in conjunction with your surgeon to alter or temporarily stop immunosuppressive medications.
