The Chait Trapdoor Cecostomy Catheter: An Alternative Access Device to Pigtail Catheters for Chronic Cholecystostomy Drains

The Percutaneous Cecostomy Tube in the Management of Fecal Incontinence in Children

“…The cecostomy tube allows for delivery of antegrade enemas to evacuate the entire colon at regular controlled intervals, thereby avoiding uncontrolled fecal soiling. It also avoids the pain associated with catheterization of appendicostomies, and favorable clinical outcomes have been reported in children with this approach (1)(2)(3)(4)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). The purpose of the present study is to report our experience with the image-guided percutaneous cecostomy procedure and the long-term safety and outcomes of this intervention, with a focus on the lessons learned over the years.…”
