The aim of this paper is to identify the long\u2010term outcomes of patients who have undergone total colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis for severe constipation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients who had undergone a total colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis for severe constipation were identified from a prospectively maintained database and sent a postal survey assessing functional symptoms, patient satisfaction and the impact of symptoms on quality of life. Information regarding the surgery, perioperative complications and hospitalizations were also collected. Functional outcomes of the surgery were evaluated with the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index, St Marks incontinence score, Wexner continence score, obstructed defaecation syndrome score and Cleveland Clinic constipation score.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seventy\u2010one questionnaires were posted and 32 (45%) patients responded. The mean time since surgery was 15.3\u2009years (range 2.9\u201330.4\u2009years) Most patients were happy with the surgery. Ongoing symptoms were common, the most frequent of these were abdominal pain, experienced by 23 patients (71.9%), and faecal incontinence, experienced by 17 patients (53%). Fourteen patients (43.8%) required subsequent hospital admission due to bowel obstruction and eight patients (25%%) had subsequent surgery for adhesions. There was an association between patient quality of life and subsequent surgeries.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most patients were happy and viewed their life as improved following total colectomy for severe constipation.
