Core Tip We report a rare case of refractory ulcerative colitis displaying “differential healing” following prolonged high-dose tofacitinib (10 mg thrice daily) rescue therapy. While the distal colon remained severely inflamed despite clinical remission (clinical-endoscopic discordance), the proximal colon achieved complete mucosal healing. This unique segmental response facilitated a function-preserving subtotal colectomy with Deloyers colo-anal anastomosis, avoiding a permanent stoma or ileal pouch. This case highlights a novel medical-surgical strategy leveraging differential healing to preserve colonic function and quality of life in complex scenarios.
