On the Preventive Role of Lactulose in Light of New Interpretations of Chronic Colonic Stasis in Children
The authors offer an original conception of development of chronic colonic stasis in children, the cause of colonic stasis being a genetically determined state of the connective tissue and smooth muscle of the colon in combination with various locations of the colon in the abdominal cavity. Early prophylaxis of persistent and recurrent forms of chronic constipation (administration of Dufalac) permitted to obtain a maximally positive effect in almost 100 % of patients.
