Colonic Inertia

In the other three patients the pain was present preoperatively but had decreased in intensity since the operation. Two patients (6 percent) still required assistance with bowel movements, one by laxatives and the other by enemas. [insights.ovid.com]

The frequency reduces with time due to intestinal adaptation. 5 A summary of the recent published results with total abdominal colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis is presented in Table 2. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Irritability

Treatment for colonic inertia in these patients includes laxatives, prokinetics, and ultimately colectomy, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality in pSSc. [jrheum.org]
