The antegrade continence enema procedure why, when and how?

Abstract: Following the description of the antegrade continence enema (ACE) 7 years ago, it has become widely performed and accepted as the most successful treatment for intractable faecal incontinence. Modifications of the operative technique and enema regimen have been described, but the basic principle remains. This paper traces the evolution of the ACE and describes criteria for patient selection, operative technique and enema regimens.

“…In this study, the primary and secondary technical success rates of insertion of cecostomy tubes were 95% and 100%, respectively, which are similar to other studies [8][9][10][11]14,15,17] . Long term follow up of patients showed resolution of continuous soiling in all patients with neurogenic fecal incontinence.…”

“…This study was later followed by other studies that showed this percutaneous procedure represents a less invasive alternative to a surgical procedure [8][9][10][11][12] . Percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy is a viable alternative to surgically or fluoroscopically placed cecostomy in a select group of patients with recurrent colonic pseudo-obstruction or chronic intractable constipation [13] .…”

“…9 Since Malone and colleagues presented a preliminary report of an antegrade colonic enema (Malone antegrade continence enema [MACE]) procedure in 1990, 10 it has gained wide acceptance by urologists as a successful treatment for intractable neuropathic bowel dysfunction. [11][12][13][14][15][16] However, the MACE procedure is an invasive operation with a relatively high incidence of complications. [12][13][14][15][16] In recent years, transanal irrigation (TAI) has become a popular option in the management of NBD due to its successful results and acceptable safety profile.…”

“…It is usually developed based on an individual trial and error basis for each of the patients 1 . The solutions, their volumes and intervals between washouts are tested and modified whenever necessary in a process which usually takes, approximately, a month after operation, but which can take up to six months 3 . Metabolic iatrogenic complications of enema administration in children are not rare, but most of them are self-limited and have no clinical manifestations.…”
