Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with chronic diarrhea. Surgical intervention is usually reserved for patients who have failed all medical therapy and when malignancy is suspected on biopsy as the cause of the chronic diarrhea.
Indications
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with chronic diarrhea. Surgical intervention is usually reserved for patients who have failed all medical therapy and when malignancy is suspected on biopsy as the cause of the chronic diarrhea. The decision to operate should be discussed with a multidisciplinary team, and should include appropriate preoperative imaging, patient counseling, optimization of nutritional status, and prophylaxis for thromboembolic events.[1]
