CT patients reported significantly improved constipation management, fecal continence, and improved quality of life compared with NCT patients. Our pilot study demonstrates that the Chait cecostomy tube is a well-tolerated, effective means for treating constipation and achieving fecal continence with minimal side effects in patients with neurogenic bowels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
