The current consensus is:

① Do not blindly perform colectomy on patients with short-term colonic slow-transit constipation. For patients with mild constipation, conservative treatment should be considered first. Only when long-term conservative treatment is indeed ineffective, surgical treatment should be considered.

② For those with normal colon transit test but abnormal pelvic floor physiological examination, conservative treatment should be used as much as possible; for those with slow transit and abnormal physiological examination, treatment should first target pelvic floor dysfunction, because slow transit may also be the result of abnormal pelvic floor function. Surgery should be considered only when there is no improvement in slow transit after conservative treatment after improvement in pelvic floor function.

The indications for surgery should be strictly controlled. The following points must be met before surgical treatment can be considered: ① there is clear evidence of colonic atony; ② there is no sign of outlet obstruction; ③ there is sufficient tension in the anal canal contraction; ④ there is no obvious clinical anxiety, depression or other mental abnormalities; ⑤ there is no evidence of diffuse intestinal motility disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome. Colectomy was performed before a comprehensive pelvic floor physiology examination. The effect will not be ideal.
