Ahead of the first ESCP/ECCO regional masterclass in Moscow, Professor Yves Panis (Professor of Digestive Surgery at the Université Paris VII and Head of the Department of Colorectal Surgery at Beaujon Hospital, Clichy, France) discusses the surgical treatment of acute severe colitis. Although there are no established national registries or surveys on the exact numbers regarding the prevalence of acute severe colitis, the current evidence suggests that around 10-15% of all the patients with ulcerative colitis will at some point develop acute severe colitis. Although which patients will develop the condition and why, is unknown.

We were all very sad to learn recently of the death of our friend Yehiel "Chilik" Ziv, who sadly lost his battle with cancer. We have sent our deepest condolences to his family. Chilik was a keen supporter of the Society, an active member of the Programme Committee for some years, and he will be greatly missed.
