Abstract:
Chronic constipation is one of the common diseases in clinic. For the complicated causes and pathophysiology, the overall efficacy is not satisfactory in the traditional medical model. Multidisciplinary-team (MDT) approach is a new team medical model, which is also an important systematic and modular medical approach. Treating patients with chronic constipation by multidisciplinary-team approach is an effective way to improve the overall efficacy. In diagnosis, MDT approach can get more accurate and explicit diagnosis and type of the constipation by gathering patients' detailed medical history, complete physical examination, laboratory and image test, patients' mental and nutritional condition. In treatment, MDT members can cooperate in various fields, such as basic research, medicine, physics, psychology, surgery and conversion therapy, and that may provides more thoughts and methods for the treatment of chronic constipation.
