Subtotal colectomy with Deloyers colo-anal anastomosis for refractory ulcerative colitis: A case report

Figure 3 Postoperative endoscopic and histopathological findings at six months following subtotal colectomy. A: Colonoscopy of the remaining colon shows a patent colo-anal anastomosis and only mild, diffuse erythema; B: Corresponding histopathology (hematoxylin and eosin stain) of biopsies reveals features consistent with diversion colitis, including chronic inflammation and glandular atrophy, with a complete absence of neutrophils, indicating no evidence of active ulcerative colitis.
