Chronic constipation is a heterogeneous disease with multiple symptoms, and its incidence is on the rise in many countries. It has become a common disease affecting the quality of life. When these patients fail to respond to standardized and systematic non-surgical treatment, and the relevant examination suggests that there are surgical indications, surgical treatment should be considered. The cure rate of surgical treatment can reach 95%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intestinal motility, nutritional status, immune function and intestinal environment of patients by measuring BMI, biochemical tests and nutritional risk related questionnaires.
