Intractable constipation occurs in middle-aged women and the elderly, it refers to long-term, chronic constipation. Often medication, injections, enemas and other treatments are not effective, also belongs to the category of non-surgical treatment can not be cured. This is because stubborn constipation is often accompanied by organic changes in the colon and rectum. From the etiology, the cause of chronic constipation can be divided into three major categories: 1, is the colon chronic transmission type constipation, in layman’s terms, is the power of the large intestine produces a problem, intestines do not peristalsis, or less peristalsis. 2, is the exit type constipation, that is, the rectum of the curved position is too large, or there is a similar valve-like tissue in the intestine to affect the discharge of stool. 3, is a mixed type, both of the above conditions exist. Most of the above three conditions require surgery to fundamentally solve the problem, the key is that the patient must first obtain a correct diagnosis. Therefore, for stubborn constipation patients must go to the hospital, find a specialist to carry out a series of tests in order to clarify the cause of the disease, for the correct treatment. For chronic transmission constipation of the colon, the previous surgery was a routine dissection to remove the affected bowel.

There are only a few small holes and a small incision on the stomach. Patients can get satisfactory results.
