The anal physiology laboratory plays a very important role in the selection of patients for surgical treatment for constipation. Any report which does not include reference to these methods of evaluation will not be helpful since there are several causes of constipation. The current recommended treatment for slow transit constipation is still total abdominal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. Treatment of pelvic floor outlet obstruction seems to be best accomplished using muscle/sensory retraining techniques since this is a functional disorder rather than an anatomical or physiological disorder. Combinations of colonic inertia, pelvic floor outlet obstruction and internal intussusception should be treated to correct the pelvic floor outlet obstruction initially, followed by correction of the colonic inertia. In this way failure will be avoided at the time of surgical treatment of the constipation.
