| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Idiopathic slow-transit constipation may be a pangastrointestinal motility disorder. We have screened patients referred to surgery for constipation for the presence of biliary dyskinesia. METHOD: Patients had cholecystokinin-augmented trimethyl-3-bromo iminodiacetic acid scans to measure gallbladder ejection fraction. RESULTS: There is a significant difference in gallbladder ejection fraction between patients with idiopathic slow-transit constipation (median value, 28.5) compared with patients with other causes of constipation (median value, 71; Mann-Whitney,P=0.0025). CONCLUSION: Idiopathic slow-transit constipation may be a pangastrointestinal motility disorder. |
