3 Fig. 2 Survival curves regarding recurrence after primary colectomy in 394 patients with Crohn's colitis, (log rank test, P< 0.01). Slant-dashed line indicates colectomy and ileostomy (n = 65); thin solid line indicates proctocolectomy and ileostomy (n = 89); wide solid line indicates colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (n = 106); dashed line indicates segmental colonic resection (n = 134).
