Abstract

Gastrointestinal motility disorders pose a major clinical challenge because of the limitations of diagnostic tests and the lack of efficacious therapeutic options. Gastrointestinal motility disorders comprise heterogeneous conditions that may affect any area of the digestive tract resulting from abnormality of enteric neuromuscular function. Motility disorders are frequently chronic and may markedly affect patients’ quality of life. Despite significant progress has been made over the last years, the exact nature and pathophysiological mechanisms of most gastrointestinal motility disorders remain largely unknown. Unfortunately, most dysmotility disorders cannot be cured and treatment are only offered to relieve symptoms, reduce morbidity and mortality, and improve quality of life. Surgery has a pivotal role in managing patients with motility disorders representing the treatment of choice in different conditions or an important intervention to be associated with medical therapies.
