Constipation

Posted by xo786 @xo786, Apr 10 9:24pm

Patient undergo total colectomy laparoscopic assisted surgery for chronic constipation however after surgery the patient continues to have difficulty with bowel movements. X-ray was taken which shows moderate stool burden on the ascending colon. From your opinion do you think because the ascending colon didn’t remove which cause the patient to continue having constipation or it’s not relevant?

I understand completely and it’s just sad that you have gone through a lot and still have problems. I am confident that you will get the help you need in this matter, please don’t give up now after doing so much, just keep asking for help with the doctor and if he or she doesn’t offer anything else then you must find another doctor. I think you will get very good advice here and also help with what you need to do.
