Evaluation of interstitial cells of Cajal in patients with severe colonic inertia requiring surgery: a clinical‐pathological study

Subtotal colectomy is the treatment of last resort in patients with severe colonic inertia (SCI) refractory to laxatives. Some studies have reported hypoplasia of the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) using a semi‐quantitative analysis. The aims of this study were first to investigate if semi‐quantitative analysis or morphometry is better at the quantification of colonic ICC and second to determine whether there is a relationship between the number of ICC and the severity of constipation.
