Core Tip |
Although total or subtotal colectomy for slow-transit constipation has been proven to be a definite treatment, the associated defecation function and quality of life are rarely studied. The reported outcomes of colectomy for constipation are various, controversial and conflicting. Based on our study of 2-year follow-up data following surgery, total or subtotal colectomy for slow-transit constipation is not only effective to alleviate constipation related symptoms, but to enhance the patients’ quality of life. |
