Summary

This observational monocentric study aims to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and tolerance of percutaneous endoscopic caecostomy (PEC) in patients with chronic refractory constipation. Follow-up data will be collected through phone interviews and standardized quality of life questionnaires.

Detailed description

CONSTICAP 2 is a non-interventional cohort study conducted at CHU de Nantes. Patients who received a PEC between 2010 and 2022 will be contacted by phone at least two years after the procedure. Data will be collected using validated questionnaires (GIQLI, SF-36, etc.) to assess quality of life and treatment durability. The study builds on baseline and short-term data from the CONSTICAPE 1 cohort.
