Scintigraphic assessment of colonic transit in women with slow‐transit constipation arising de novo and following pelvic surgery or childbirth

Colonic transit has not been compared between patients with slow‐transit constipation (STC) arising de novo (idiopathic) and those whose symptoms followed pelvic surgery or childbirth (acquired).
