In recent years, new techniques for the investigation of colonic motility and defaecation mechanism have been developed. Based on the results of these studies it has been suggested that there might be an indication for a surgical approach to the distressing problem of constipation. Because this approach is still controversial, it seems to be appropriate to review the suggested indications for the use of surgery in the treatment of constipation and to discuss the results as reported in literature so far.
近年来，已开发出用于研究结肠运动和排便机制的新技术。基于这些研究结果，有人提出对于令人苦恼的便秘问题可能有手术治疗的指征。由于这种方法仍存在争议，因此回顾一下建议的手术治疗便秘的指征并讨论迄今文献报道的结果似乎是合适的。
