The authors discuss own experience in diagnosis and surgical treatment of 32 patients with idiopathic megacolon. Three surgical techniques were compared: 1) partial excision of the colon, 2) nearly complete excision of the colon with cecum-rectal anastomosis, and 3) total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. Basing on the authors' own experience and available literature the third approach is recommended as the most appropriate in the treatment of the persistent, chronic constipation accompanying idiopathic megacolon.
