Macha MR, et al. - In this retrospective study, researchers analyzed the utility of laparoscopic subtotal colectomy (LSC) with cecorectal anastomosis (CRA) in community practice for slow transit constipation (STC). They recorded an average postoperative length of stay (LOS), 5 days. They reported 1 early major postoperative complication. No perioperative deaths, anastomotic leaks or revisions of the original surgery after discharge from the hospital were recorded but, an incisional hernia as the single long-term complication was noticed. They found BMs tapered down from 1-2/day with some laxative use in the 1-5 year follow-up.
