title: Appendiceal cecoplication: a modification of the Malone antegrade colonic enema procedure.
abstract: Bowel dysfunction is common in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. In 1990 Malone combined the principles of antegrade colonic washout and the Mitrofanoff nonrefluxing catheterizable channel to produce a continent colonic stoma, the antegrade colonic enema (ACE) procedure. This procedure provides a catheterizable channel through which antegrade washouts are given to provide efficient colonic emptying. We present our modification of the ACE procedure, the appendiceal cecoplication.
