A colostomy, where part of the colon is brought through the abdomen so that stool can be eliminated into a bag worn on the abdomen, is often not needed. A partial colectomy is almost never done for people with ulcerative colitis, because the disease will often recur in the healthy section of the colon that is left. In Crohn's disease, there is also a risk of the disease recurring in the colon, and more surgery is needed in some cases.
