Abstract:Objective: The aim of the study was to determine which was the optimal side for the conduit to be placed (right or left colon) for antegrade continence enema implantation. Materials and Methods: Between July 1999 and March 2006, 31 patients underwent the construction of a catheterizable conduit using the Malone principle (MACE) In 22 cases the conduit was re-implanted in the right colon and in 9 cases in the left colon. There were 20 male patients and 11 female patients, with a mean age of 10.23 years. The fol… Show more
“…Chang HK et al performed right-sided ACE in (50.98%) and left sided in (49.01%) [17]. Furtado Meyer et al, used 70% right and 30% left-sided antegrade continent enema [18].…”
Objective: The aim of this study is to share our single-center experience of Augmentation Cystoplasty (AC) in children regarding indications, bowel segment used, associated procedures, and its complications. Materials and Methods: We analyzed data of all pediatric patients who underwent AC at Institute of Kidney Diseases (IKD), Peshawar between July 2017 and March 2020. Results: A total of 18 pediatric patients are included in the study who underwent Bladder augmentation (BA) either isolated in 1 (5.5%), or along with other associated procedures like Mitrofanoff 17 (94.4%), Antegrade Continent Enema (ACE) 6 (33.3%), Bladder Neck Reconstruction (BNR) 5 (27.7%) and Bilateral ureteric Re-implantation (B/L UR) in 3 (16.6%). Indication for Bladder augmentation were Neurogenic bladder (NGB) 13 (72.2%), Exstrophy Epispadias Complex (EEC) 3 (16.6%) and Posterior urethral value with small functional capacity bladder 2 (11.1%). Small gut used in 15 (83.3%) and large gut in 3 (16.6%) for BA. For Mitrofanff associated with bladder augmentation, Appendix was used in 14 (82.35%) and small gut (Monti) in 3 (17.6%) cases. For ACE associated with BA, in 4 (66.6%) Appendix used as right-sided ACE and in 2 (33.3%) small gut (Monti) as left-sided ACE. No intraoperative complications noted, while early post-op complications, 2 wound infection and 1 urinary leakage from wound, were noted in 3(16.6%) cases and late post-op complications (stomal stenosis) in 4(22.2%) patients.

Our results suggest that retrograde colonic enema was not inferior to Malone antegrade continence enema on fecal continence. We recommend considering retrograde colonic enema prior to introduction of Malone antegrade continence enema in children with spina bifida.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
