    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the feasibility of subtotal colectomy with cecorectal end-side anastomosis for slow transit constipation. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was performed on 23 patients with colon slow transit constipation treated by subtotal colectomy with cecorectal end-side anastomosis in our department from March 2006 to April 2013. The main measure outcome was the curative effect on constipation by this type of surgery. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients were successfully treated. Anastomotic leakage occurred in one case, and urinary retention in 1 case, while no anastomotic stricture, abdominal bleeding, abdominal hernia, incontinence and other complications occurred. During follow-up of 2 months to 7 years, defecation frequency was 1-4 times a day with no need of antidiarrheal agents. Each time of defecation was less than 5 min. All the patients had no recurrence of constipation. CONCLUSION: Subtotal colectomy with cecorectal end-side anastomosis can be used to treat colon slow transit constipation, while accurate preoperative evaluation and strict indications for the surgery is the key to success.
