Total and Segmental Colonic Transit Time with Radio-Opaque Markers in Adolescents with Functional Constipation

Abstract

The measurement of total and segmental colonic transit times is a simple method that allows one to distinguish constipation due to colonic dysfunction (right colon and left colon) from constipation due to distal obstruction (rectosigmoid).
