It is now possible to produce double continence in some patients with synchronous combined surgery, a goal that was not achievable without colostomy before the development of the antegrade continence enema in 1990. However, the surgery is demanding with high revision rates and we emphasize that it should only be performed in patients who are highly motivated and have reasonable dexterity and intelligence. This careful patient selection is confirmed by the fact that surgery was performed on 2 to 3 patients a year at each unit. This surgery should only be performed at facilities which can provide long-term patient followup.
