Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic measurements for the disease of redundant sigmoid colon. Methods Twenty-two patients diagnosed as redundant sigmoid colon disease and received treatments were retrospectively analysed. Results Three of the 22 patients received conservative treatment with satisfactory efficacy (100. 00% ). Among the 19 patients who received surgical treatment, 17 have satisfactory efficacy (89. 47%). Conclusion For patients with intractable constipation, the possibility of redundant sigmoid colon should be considered. The diagnosis for this disease mainly depends on barium enema. Non-surgical treatment is prefered as first choice. Surgical procedure can be performed when conservative treatment fails. The indications of surgical treatment should be restrictly defined and a complete colon preparation is required before the operation.
