Laparoscopic colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis may be beneficial for patients
with slow transit constipation who do not respond to conservative treatment,
particularly if the superior rectal artery (SRA) is preserved. Several important
concerns have been addressed in this commentary. It is important to first go over
the definition of surgical procedure as it is used in this text. Second, the
current study lacked a control group that had SRA preservation. Thirdly, it would
be best to use a prospective, randomized controlled study. Lastly, a description
of the mesenteric defect's state following a laparoscopic colectomy is necessary.
