Abstract:Chronic constipation is a common functional bowel disorder that significantly impacts patients' quality of life and mental health. The Surgical Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for Constipation were first published in 2008 and revised in 2017, respectively, and have contributed to the growth of constipation surgery in China. With a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms and advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques, the branch has again assembled multidisciplinary experts to enhance the diagnosis and treatment system. Based on the latest local and global evidence and utilizing the GRADE system to assess the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations, they have developed the Guidelines for Surgical treatment of constipation (2025 Edition). The new edition systematically updates information on causes, diagnostic methods, and non-surgical and surgical treatment options for constipation. It clearly defines surgical indications and principles for procedure selection, emphasizing personalized treatment and evidence-based decision-making. This guideline aims to standardize diagnosis and treatment, improve clinical decision-making, and promote consistency and effectiveness in surgical approaches for treating constipation.
