- W2047540369 abstract "Colonic inertia (CI) usually presents in women in the third decade of life; however, elderly patients are at times diagnosed with the disease. Total abdominal colectomy (TAC) is considered the preferred surgical treatment for patients with well established CI refractory to conservative and medical management. Surgeons are reluctant to proceed with colectomy in aged patients because of anticipated high morbidity and poor functional outcome.We retrospectively reviewed the outcome in 14 patients over the age of 65 years (range 65-80) (Group I) who underwent TAC for CI between 1988 and 1996. The functional and clinical outcome was compared with that of 41 patients under the age of 65 (range 21-61) (Group II) operated upon during the same time period. Functional outcome was assessed by postal and telephone questionnaires at least 12 months following surgery.There was no major postoperative morbidity in either group. Three (21%) patients in Group I developed small bowel obstruction postoperatively and, of them, 2 required surgical treatment. In Group II the rate of obstruction was 7% (3 patients), with one patient requiring surgery. One patient in Group I subsequently underwent completion proctectomy and creation of an end ileostomy due to continued panenteric hypomotility. Three patients in Group I died during follow-up from causes unrelated to surgery. The mean frequency of spontaneous bowel movements following surgery was 3.8 (range 1-10)/day in Group I and 2.9 (range 1-8)/day in Group II (P=NS). 'Excellent' outcome was reported by 7 patients (64%) in Group I and 39 patients (95%) in Group II (P=0.01).TAC can be performed in elderly patients with established CI with acceptable functional results and no increase in morbidity, resulting in lifestyle improvement. Complete physiological evaluation with increased emphasis on small bowel and gastric motility studies is required in this patient population." @default.
