Description
Pengfei Tian and six co-authors report a case series on severe colitis care in a 2026 paper. Their patients had acute severe ulcerative colitis that no longer answered biologic drugs and were headed for surgery. A small group also accepted traditional Chinese medicine before the operation; the rest did not. Five of the treated patients settled enough that surgery was cancelled.
Among those operated on, complication rates and hospital stay looked somewhat better in the treated group. Yet every confidence range crossed the no-effect line, and the groups differed at baseline in important ways. The authors treat the work as exploratory, not proof of benefit.
