Appendiceal cecoplication: a modification of the Malone antegrade colonic enema procedure.
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.
