Secondary constipation: hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, diabetes, renal failure, pregnancy, neurologic disorders (eg,
Parkinson disease), drug side effects.
Ogilvie syndrome typically distinct entity.
Pathology
No primary colonic pathology.
Secondary pathology: melanosis coli (lipofuscin pigment in submucosal macrophages [no melanin]), colonic muscular
hypertrophy, colonic diverticulosis.
Pathophysiology: factors affecting colonic transit and evacuation:
Endoluminal factors (stool consistency).
Intrinsic factors (neuromuscular network, pacer and distention receptor function, motility).
Extrinsic factors (neural function, endocrine factors, drugs).
Evacuatory function (pelvic neuromuscular coordination).
Evaluation
REQUIRED MINIMAL STANDARD
History:
Exact analysis of patient's symptoms: number/frequency/quality of bowel movements, supportive maneuvers for
evacuation, dietary habits, past/current management (laxatives, enemas/suppositories, fibers, etc).

General:
Dietary modification and stool regulation: increase fiber (> 25–30 g/day), increase fluid intake (> 1.5–2 L/day);
reserve sufficient time after meals for bowel movements (gastrocolic reflex); increase physical activity, avoid
constipating medications (if possible).
Laxatives (eg, polyethylene glycol [PEG], lubiprostone, lactulose, milk of magnesia, etc.)
Stool softeners.
Suppositories, enemas.
IBS: even if condition appears treatment-refractory, the management remains primarily nonoperative. Tegaserod maleate
(prokinetic 5-HT
4
receptor agonist withdrawn from US market in 2007, never approved in Europe) may be beneficial in
selected individuals.
Pelvic floor dyssynergia (anismus, levator ani syndrome, paradoxical puborectalis contraction): physical therapy/biofeedback
training.
Operative Treatment
INDICATION
Selected patients with treatment-refractory slow-transit constipation.
Correctable pelvic floor dysfunction and/or morphologic outlet obstruction.
OPERATIVE APPROACH
Slow-transit constipation: (sub-)total colectomy, antegrade irrigational stoma (MACE).
Rectocele: repair.
Pelvic floor descent/pelvic organ prolapse syndrome: organ suspension (rectopexy with/without sigmoid resection,
sacrocolpopexy, cystopexy), rectocele repair.
Outcome
Most active patients do well with medical management
Total abdominal colectomy: 85–90% satisfaction in properly selected patients, 50–60% if IBS and pelvic floor dysfunction
included; morbidity: 10–15% unsatisfactory bowel frequency and/or incontinence, recurrent bowel obstruction,
recurrent/persistent constipation.
Follow-Up
Functional reassessment (constipation/diarrhea, continence for stool/gas and urine) after 3 and 6 months.

FUNCTIONAL DISORDERS—IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS, 564.1)
Overview
IBS ("visceral hypersensitivity") is the classical example of a functional disorder, defined as nonspecific abdominal symptoms
(pain, gas formation, etc) in association with altered bowel habits (constipation, diarrhea, both), but absence of any
morphologic or biochemical abnormalities.
Pathophysiology: disturbance of brain/gut interaction results in abnormal processing of physiologic stimuli, which triggers
altered motility, increased contractility/spasticity, and visceral hypersensitivity/-algesia and is associated with a reduced
intestinal volume tolerance.
Lacking any specific tests or markers, IBS remains a diagnosis of exclusion (the term IBS generally is overused!)
Rome III
criteria (2006) are used for standardization of diagnostic criteria: Table 4–11. Important to distinguish IBS from other benign
or malignant causes of respective symptoms. Frequent overlap with other functional and personality disorders.
Table 4–11. IBS-Defining Criteria (Rome III Criteria, 2006).
Mandatory Symptoms Supportive Symptoms
Main complaint: 2 of the following symptoms:
Abdominal discomfort or
pain:
Improvement with defecation Urgency, bloating
3 days per month in at least
past 3 months
Association with change in frequency
of bowel movements
Abnormal frequency of bowel movements ( 3 per
week or > 3 per day)
Symptom onset
6 months
before diagnosis
Association with change in form of
stool
Abnormal stool quality according to Bristol Stool
Form Scale (see Table 4–12):
Lumpy/hard
Loose/watery stool
Passing of mucus
Straining or feeling of incomplete evacuation
Subtype definition only based on stool consistency: see Classification.
High probability of frustration on patient's (quality of life) and physician's side (lack of improvement), significant financial
impact on health care system.
Epidemiology
US prevalence 8–20%, of which 65% have minor symptoms with no request for treatment, 30% sporadic physician's visit,
5% severe symptoms. Mostly female predominance, but some global variability of male/female gender ratio, eg, 1:2 (US) to
4:1 (India). All ages affected, peak 20–65 years.

Symptoms
Abdominal symptoms: pain/discomfort with relief upon defecation, bloating, heartburn, GERD, nausea, vomiting.
Stool habits: alteration with constipation, diarrhea, mixed symptoms; urgency, discharge of mucus or blood, sense of
incomplete evacuation, straining.
Frequently associated but nondiagnostic symptoms: fibromyalgia, headache, backache, genitourinary symptoms.
Psychosocial symptoms: anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorder, sleep disturbance, etc.
Differential Diagnosis
Other benign/malignant causes of abdominal pain/discomfort, eg, partial obstruction (adhesions), diverticular disease, etc.
Other benign/malignant causes of morphologic constipation/obstruction.
Other causes of functional constipation, eg, slow-transit constipation, pelvic floor dysfunction, etc.
Coexistence of IBS with any of the above.
Pathology
No primary colonic pathology.
Evaluation
REQUIRED MINIMAL STANDARD
History:
Exact analysis of patient's symptoms including stool characteristics (Table 4–12): temporal relationship between
pain/discomfort and bowel habits.
Identification of "alarm symptoms": fever, GI bleeding, weight loss, anemia, abdominal/pelvic mass.
Identification of nonintestinal pain triggers: physical activity, urination, menstruation, trauma, etc.
List of medications (drug-induced constipation).
History of prior surgeries (adhesions, prolapse syndrome, etc).
Previous colonic evaluations (flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, barium enema)?
Comorbidities (psychiatric, hypothyroidism, diabetes, coronary artery disease, COPD, liver/kidney disease, etc).

Type Description of Stool Label
1 Separate hard lumps (difficult to pass) Constipation
2 Lumpy, sausage-shaped
3 Sausage with cracks on surface Normal
4 Smooth and soft sausage/snake
5 Soft blobs with clear-cut edges (passed easily)
6 Fluffy pieces (mushy) Diarrhea

Clinical examination: general appearance, habitus, emotional status? Abdominal exam: unspecific findings, possibly
tenderness to palpation (occasionally disproportionate emotional reaction to exam), absence of true morphologic pathology.
Anoscopy/rigid sigmoidoscopy: rule out distal morphologic pathology?
Limited/full colonic evaluation: depending on age and risk factors serves as baseline exam prior to any other studies to rule
out morphologic cause of constipation.
Colonic transit time study: complete elimination of Sitzmark indicative of normal-transit constipation, consistent with IBS-C.
ADDITIONAL TESTS (OPTIONAL)
Stool examination: fecal occult blood, stool leukocytes, O&P (eg, Giardia lamblia, ameba, etc).
Other imaging modalities: defecating proctogram, dynamic MRI, small bowel follow-through, etc.
Anophysiology studies.
Classification
IBS-C: IBS with constipation hard/lumpy stools 25%, loose/watery stools < 25%.
IBS-D: IBS with diarrhea loose/watery stools 25%, hard/lumpy stools < 25%.
IBS-M: IBS with mixed symptoms hard/lumpy stools 25%, loose/watery stools 25%.
IBS-U: undefined IBS absence of sufficient abnormality in stool consistency.
IBS-A: IBS with alternating symptoms symptom fluctuance over time.
Nonoperative Treatment
General
Even treatment-refractory IBS primarily nonoperative management:
Reassurance, counseling, education.
Dietary modification: elimination of triggers, increased fluid intake (> 1.5–2 L/day).
