Results: All patients had slow colonic transit and 7 patients (male to female, 1 : 1.6) with a mean age of 54 (range, 27∼70) years. underwent total abdominal colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis and one patient had right hemicolectomy. Major symptoms were abdominal pain and bloating and mean bowel action was 18.5 days, mean suffered time before operation was 26.3 years. Colonic transit study, defecography and rectal manometry were done in all cases. Pelvic floor dysfunction was combined in 5 patients. Median follow up was 2.7 years. There was one mortality case due to postoperative pneumonia and ARDS in a 70 year old patient. Except one mortality case, there was significant success rate, overall 71%.
