To evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and long-term efficacy of the Jinling procedure for management of refractory mixed constipation. We prospectively collected clinical data of patients with refractory mixed constipation treated by the Jinling procedure in the Institute of General Surgery of our hospital from January 2007 to August 2023. Perioperative complications, effectiveness within 1 year of surgery (as assessed by the Wexner constipation score, gastrointestinal quality of life index, frequency of spontaneous defecation, rate of satisfactory defecation, body composition, serological indicators, defecography, anorectal manometry) and 10 years after surgery (as assessed by the Wexner constipation score, patient assessment of constipation symptom, SF-36 quality of life score, and questionnaire concerning satisfaction with defecation).

Gastrointestinal Unit, Department of Translational Sciences and New Technologies in Medicine and Surgery, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy.

Background: The International Anorectal Physiology Working Group (IAPWG) suggests a standardized protocol to perform high-resolution anorectal manometry. The applicability and possible limitations of the IAPWG protocol in performing three-dimensional high-definition anorectal manometry (3D-ARM) have still to be extensively evaluated.

Methods: The IAPWG protocol was applied in performing 3D-ARM.

Article Synopsis
  • Prokinetic agents like Lubiprostone (LUB) enhance gastrointestinal contractility, particularly in alleviating constipation due to slow intestinal motility.
  • LUB activates E-type prostaglandin receptor type 3 (EP3), leading to the indirect activation of the TRPC4 channel, which increases calcium levels in colonic smooth muscle.
  • The study indicates that LUB's effects are more pronounced in the distal colon, highlighting the potential for targeted treatments in managing gastrointestinal symptoms.
