| Core Tip |
Symptoms of defecation disorders, such as diarrhea and constipation, are relatively modest and have not received sufficient attention among various postgastrectomy symptoms; therefore, their implication on the daily lives of patients have not been adequately investigated. We evaluated these symptoms using a nationwide multi-institutional collaborative study called the Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Study. The severity of symptoms of defecation disorders were unexpectedly high and both symptoms, particularly constipation, impaired the living status and quality of life (QOL) of patients after gastrectomy; therefore, we should also pay attention and adequately treat these symptoms to improve postoperative QOL. |
