- Abstract:
- Chronic constipation in childhood results from (1) psychological/behavioural causes, (2) functional or organic gastrointestinal outlet obstruction, or (3) slowing of transit within the colon. Functional chronic constipation is treated by a complex conservative bowel management. Constipation refractory to routine medical treatment reveals, in a significant number of cases, organic causes. Histology of bowel biopsies is essential for the preoperative diagnosis of chronic constipation. Defective innervated bowel segments require surgical treatment. Intraoperative histological staining of bowel biopsies allows proper resection of aganglionic or dysganglionic bowel. This contribution describes the interdisciplinary, clinicopathological interactions involving children with chronic constipation.
