RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Reports of technical success, adverse events, and long-term outcome of percutaneous cecostomy in children are limited. OBJECTIVE: To characterize technical success, 30-day severe adverse events, and long-term outcome of percutaneous cecostomy at two centers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of hospital course and long-term follow-up (through May 2022) of percutaneous cecostomy tubes placed May 1997 to August 2011 at two children's hospitals was used. Outcomes assessed included technical success (defined as successful tube placement into the colon allowing antegrade colonic enemas), length of stay, 30-day severe adverse events, surgery consults, surgical repair, VP shunt infection, ongoing flushes, tube removal, duration between maintenance tube exchanges, and deaths. RESULTS: A total of 215 procedures were performed in 208 patients (90 institution A, 125 institution B). Tubes were placed for neurogenic bowel (72.1%, n = 155) and functional constipation (27.9%, n = 60). Technical success was 98.1% (211/215) and did not differ between centers (p = 0.74). Surgical repair was required for bowel leakage in 5.1% (11/215) and VP shunt infection was managed in 2.1% (2/95). Compared to functional constipation, patients with neurogenic bowel had higher % tube remaining (65.3% [96/147] versus 25.9% [15/58], p < 0.001) and higher ongoing flushes at follow-up (42.2% [62/147] versus 12.1% [7/58], p < 0.001). Tube removal for dissatisfaction occurred in 15.6% [32/205] and did not differ between groups (p = 0.98). Eight deaths due to co-morbidity occurred after a median of 7.4 years (IQR 9.3) of tube access. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous cecostomy is technically successful in the vast majority of patients and provided durable access in most. Bowel leakage and VP shunt infection are uncommon, severe adverse events.

PURPOSE: Antegrade colonic enemas (ACE) can be an effective management option for defecation disorders and improve quality of life. Best practice regarding channel placement is unclear and variation may exist around preferred initial type of channel, age at placement, and underlying diagnoses. We aimed to describe practice patterns and patient characteristics around ACE channel placement. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study of children with an ACE channel cared for at sites participating in the Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Learning Consortium (PCPLC) from 2017 to 2022. Kruskal-Wallis test was utilized to test the age at surgery by site with significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: 500 patients with ACE channel were included. 293 (58.6%) patients had their ACE procedure at a PCPLC center. The median age at surgery was 7.6 [IQR 5.3-11.0] years for the overall cohort and 8.1 [IQR 5.3-11.5] years for placement at PCPLC centers. For PCPLC centers, median age at placement varied significantly across centers (p = 0.009). 371 (74.2%) patients received Malone appendicostomy, 116 (23.2%) received cecostomy, and 13 (2.6%) received Neo-Malone appendicostomy. Median age of patients by channel type was 7.7 [IQR 5.3-11.0], 7.5 [IQR 5.7-11.0], and 9.8 [IQR 4.2-11.6] years, respectively. The most common indication for cecostomy was idiopathic/refractory constipation (52.6%), whereas anorectal malformation was the most common indication for Malone (47.2%) and Neo-Malone (61.5%). Among ACE channels placed at PCPLC centers, there was variation across institutions in preferred initial channel type. The 4 highest volume centers favored Malone appendicostomy over cecostomy. CONCLUSION: There is variation in practice of ACE channel placement. At specialty pediatric colorectal centers, age at time of placement and type of channel placed varied across institutions. Further work is needed to better characterize diagnosis- and age-focused patient centered outcomes to clarify recommendations for our patients who benefit from these procedures. TYPE OF STUDY: Retrospective comparative study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.

PURPOSE: Pediatric patients with spina bifida often experience neurogenic bowel dysfunction. Although cecostomy tubes could improve bowel continence, their effectiveness is not well established in this population. The aims of this study were to better understand the effectiveness of cecostomy tubes relative to other management strategies (between-subject) and to explore their effectiveness among patients who received these placements (within-subject). METHODS: Retrospective analysis of data from pediatric patients enrolled in a national spina bifida patient registry (nâ=â297) at a single multidisciplinary clinic was performed, covering visits between January 2014 -December 2021. Linear and ordinal mixed effect models (fixed and random effects) tested the influence of cecostomy status (no placement vs placement) and time (visits) on bowel continence while controlling for demographic and condition-specific covariates. RESULTS: Patients with cecostomy tubes had higher bowel continence compared to patients without placements (Bâ=â0.695, 95% CI [0.333, 1.050]; AORâ=â2.043, pâ=â.007). Patients with cecostomy tubes had higher bowel continence after their placements compared to before (Bâ=â0.834, 95% CI [0.142, 1.540]; AORâ=â3.259, pâ=â0.011). CONCLUSION: Results indicate cecostomy tubes are effective for improving bowel continence in this pediatric population. Future research is needed to conduct risk analyses and determine the clinical significance of these effects.

BACKGROUND: Constipation is common in the pediatric population and in severe forms it can lead to debilitating fecal incontinence which has a significant impact on quality of life. Cecostomy tube insertion is a procedural option for cases refractory to medical management, however there is limited data investigating the long-term success and complication rate. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed evaluating patients at our centre undergoing cecostomy tube (CT) insertion between 2002 and 2018. The primary outcomes of the study were the rate of fecal continence at 1-year, and the incidence of unplanned exchanges prior to annual scheduled exchange. Secondary outcomes include the frequency of anaesthetic requirements and length of hospital stay. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and chi-square analysis was performed where appropriate using SPSS v25. RESULTS: Of 41 patients, the average age at the time of initial insertion was 9.9 years with the average length of stay in hospital being 3.47 days. The most common etiology of bowel dysfunction was spina bifida, which was present in 48.8% (n = 20) of patients. Fecal continence was achieved in 90% (n = 37) of patients at 1 year and the average rate of cecostomy tube exchange was 1.3/year with an average of 3.6 general anaesthetics being required by patients and the average age of no longer requiring one being 14.9 years. DISCUSSION: Analysis of patients undergoing cecostomy tube insertion at our centre has further supported the use of cecostomy tubes as a safe and effective option for management of fecal incontinence refractory to medical management. However, a number of limitations exist in this study including its retrospective design and failure to investigate changes in quality of life using validated questionnaires. Additionally, while our research provides greater insight to practitioners and patients what degree of care and types of complications or issues they may encounter with an indwelling tube over the long-term, our single-cohort design limits any conclusions that could be made regarding optimal management strategies for overflow fecal incontinence through direct comparison with other management strategies. CONCLUSIONS: CT insertion is a safe and effective method for managing fecal incontinence due to constipation in the pediatric population, however, unplanned exchange of tube due to malfunction, mechanical breakage, or dislodgment occurs frequently and may impact quality of life and independence. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

INTRODUCTION: Antegrade continent enemas (ACE) procedures are one treatment option in children with medically refractory constipation or encopresis and predicting success is difficult. We hypothesize that there are preoperative factors that can be identified to help with patient selection and family counseling. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of children who underwent a cecostomy or appendicostomy for an ACE program between 2015 and 2021. Underlying diagnosis, pre-operative bowel regimen and imaging were analyzed. Patients were reviewed for success at 3-, 6- and 12-months post-procedure. Data was analyzed with Fisher's Exact, Kruskal-Wallis and logistic regression where applicable with significance defined as p < 0.05. RESULTS: Forty-three children were identified; 28 were male, 15 were female, mean age at time of operation was 8 years old. 76% were considered successful at 3-months, 86% at 6-months, and 87% at 12-months post- procedure. Univariate analysis showed that a pre-ACE retrograde enema program predicted success at 3-months (94% vs. 64% p = 0.03) but no difference at 6- or 12-months. At one year after ACE procedure there was a significant reduction in number of enteral medications (2 to 0, p < 0.01) and 94% of patients were on one or fewer at one year follow-up. Age, gender, weight at time of operation, contrast enema, anorectal manometry and colonic transit time results were not predictive of outcomes. CONCLUSION: In this study, we characterized expected time to success in our population as well as identified use of a pre-operative retrograde enema program as a potential predictor of success at 3-months in children undergoing an ACE procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV. TYPE OF STUDY: Prognosis study.

CASE SUMMARY: A 33-year-old man with a history of chronic alcohol use, generalized anxiety disorder, and hypertension presented to the emergency department after a syncopal event. He was admitted to the medical intensive care unit for alcohol withdrawal, requiring intubation and sedation. On hospital day 7, abdominal x-ray image demonstrated a dilated cecum to 12 cm, transverse colon dilation to 7 cm, and decompressed distal colon ( Fig. 1 ). CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis confirmed dilation of the cecum and ascending and transverse colons ( Fig. 2 ). Colonoscopy showed no evidence of distal obstruction, but colonic distension persisted, and he subsequently underwent cecal decompression with an open "blow-hole" cecostomy fully matured at skin level via a small right lower quadrant incision. The nasogastric tube was removed on postoperative day 2, and his diet was slowly advanced. Abdominal x-ray image on postoperative day 5 demonstrated no colonic dilation. He was discharged home on postoperative day 7. The patient re-presented to the hospital 3 months later with cecostomy prolapse. He underwent cecostomy takedown with ileocecectomy via circumstomal incision. He was discharged home on postoperative day 2.

INTRODUCTION: Constipation in pediatrics remains a common problem. Antegrade continence enema (ACE) procedures have been shown to decrease the distress of daily therapy. Patients are able to administer more aggressive washouts in the outpatient setting. Therefore, we hypothesize that patients following an ACE procedure would have reduced admissions for constipation. METHODS: Patients who underwent an ACE procedure at a large children's hospital from 2015 to 2018 were included. Demographics, diagnosis, procedure, and preoperative/postoperative hospital admissions were analyzed. RESULTS: Forty-eight patients were included in the study. Over half were diagnosed with idiopathic constipation. Majority of patients underwent an appendicostomy (88%, n = 42). Preoperatively, 26 patients were admitted for a combined total of 63 times for constipation. Postoperatively, 4 patients were admitted for a total of 5 visits (P = .021). Twenty-eight patients required a nonscheduled appendicostomy tube replacement. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates ACE procedures can improve constipation-related symptoms in children and are associated with decrease hospital admissions.

BACKGROUND: Appendicostomy and cecostomy are two approaches for antegrade enema access for children with severe constipation or fecal incontinence as adjuncts to a mechanical bowel management program. Each technique is associated with a unique set of complications. The purpose of our study was to report the rates of various complications associated with antegrade enema access techniques to help guide which option a clinician offers to their patients. METHODS: We reviewed all patients in our Center who received an appendicostomy or cecostomy from 2014 to 2017 who were participants in our bowel management program. RESULTS: 204 patients underwent an antegrade access procedure (150 appendicostomies and 54 cecostomies). Skin-level leakage (3% vs. 22%) and wound infections (7% vs. 28%) occurred less frequently in patients with appendicostomy compared to cecostomy. Nineteen (13%) appendicostomies required revision for stenosis, 4 (3%) for mucosal prolapse, and 1 (1%) for leakage. The rates of stenosis (33 vs. 12%) and wound infection (13 vs. 6%) were higher in patients who received a neoappendicostomy compared to an in situ appendicostomy. Intervention was needed in 19 (35%) cecostomy patients, 15 (28%) for an inability to flush or a dislodged tube, and 5 for major complications including intraperitoneal spillage in 4 (7%) and 1 (2%) for a tube misplaced in the ileum, all occurring in patients with a percutaneously placed cecostomy. One appendicostomy (1%) patient required laparoscopic revision after the appendicostomy detached from the skin. CONCLUSION: Patients had a lower rate of minor and major complications after appendicostomy compared to cecostomy. The unique complication profile of each technique should be considered for patients needing these procedures as an adjunct to their care for constipation or fecal incontinence. TYPE OF STUDY: Retrospective comparative study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.

Colonic complications following pancreatitis are unusual events ranging from 1% to 15%. In a patient with a hostile abdomen and multiple previous laparotomies, surgical management of a closed-loop large-bowel obstruction risks significant morbidity and mortality for the patient, necessitating other strategies for management. Caecostomy in the management of large bowel obstruction is an often forgotten weapon in the general surgeons' armoury.

PURPOSE: Children failing medical management for severe constipation and/or fecal incontinence may undergo surgical intervention for antegrade enema administration. We present a modification of the laparoscopic-assisted percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy (LAPEC) procedure that allows primary placement of a skin-level device. METHODS: A single-institution retrospective review was performed from 2009 to 2015. In the modified technique the colonoscope is advanced to the cecum, cecal suspension sutures are placed under laparoscopic visualization, and percutaneous needle puncture of the cecum is performed under direct laparoscopic and endoscopic visualization. A skin-level cecostomy tube is then placed over a guide wire. Patient characteristics and 30-day results were analyzed by Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: Fifty-two patients underwent attempted LAPEC. Successful LAPEC using both laparoscopic and endoscopic guidance was achieved in 46 (88.5%). A MIC-KEY device was placed in 38. Corflo PEG tube placement was necessary in 14 due to high BMI (mean 28.4). Colonoscopy failed to reach the cecum in 6 and laparoscopy alone was utilized to achieve successful tube placement. Cecostomy site infections occurred in 3 (5.8%), only in those undergoing PEG placement using a pull technique (pâ¯<â¯0.05). CONCLUSION: Primary placement of a skin-level device was successful in the majority of patients undergoing cecostomy tube placement for bowel management utilizing antegrade colonic enemas. This technique avoids a second anesthesia for tube conversion. Visualization via colonoscopy with the use of cecal suspension sutures is recommended. High BMI necessitates initial placement of a PEG tube and complications exclusively occurred in this group. TYPE OF STUDY: Clinical. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV Case series study.

Ogilvie syndrome, or Acute Colonic Pseudo-Obstruction (ACPO) is characterized by colonic distension in the absence of mechanical obstruction. In general, it evolves favorably following a conservative treatment, and surgical procedures are not necessary6. We describe a case of ACPO with evolution of two days, in a 79-year old male patient, with asthma, type 2 diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension and policystic kidneys. After failure of conservative treatment based on support measures and neostigmine, percutaneous endoscopic support cecostomy, using a gastrostomy tube. The technique and its early execution were chosen considering that it was easy to be implemented, low cost and need for immediate colonic decompression due to high risk of ischemia and perforation of the colon, associated to a rapid clinical deterioration of the patient
El síndrome de Ogilvie o Pseudoobstrucción colónica aguda (ACPO) se caracteriza por la distensión del colon en ausencia de obstrucción mecánica. En general, el tratamiento conservador es favorable, no siendo necesaria una intervención quirúrgica. Describimos el caso de una ACPO con dos días de evolución, en paciente masculino de 79 años, asmático, portador de diabetes mellitus tipo 2, hipertensión arterial sistémica y riñones poliquísticos. Después del fracaso del tratamiento conservador con medidas de soporte y neostigmina, se optó por la realización de cecostomía endoscópica percutánea de protección, utilizando una sonda de gastrostomía. La elección de la técnica y su realización precoz se dio teniendo en vista su facilidad de ejecución, su bajo costo y la necesidad de descompresión colónica inmediata por el elevado riesgo de isquemia y perforación del colon, asociado al rápido empeoramiento clínico del paciente.

INTRODUCTION: Antegrade continence enema (ACE) is a well described treatment for pediatric patients with neurogenic bowel refractory to medical and retrograde management. ACE can be carried out either by catheterizable channel with enteric conduit or a cecostomy tube appliance. For those patients who have issues with pain or leakage around the cecostomy appliance or wish to be appliance free, we present our initial results and description of a novel technique of laparoscopic conversion of cecostomy to catheterizable ACE which uses the existing tract and requires no enteric conduit. METHODS: A single institution, retrospective chart review was carried out for 2014-2017 to identify patients undergoing ACE conversion. Preoperative parameters included age, sex, weight, neurogenic bowel etiology and time from initial cecostomy. Perioperative data included length of surgery, length of hospitalization and postoperative complications (via Clavien-Dindo scale). Postoperative follow up, ancillary procedures pertinent to the ACE and status at time of submission are also presented. RESULTS: Six patients were identified (mean age 14.1 +/- 4.3â¯years) with median follow up of 36â¯months (range 18-65). Neurogenic bowel etiology was spina bifida in five and spinal cord injury in one; all patients had concurrent neurogenic bladder with preexisting appendicovesicostomy. Mean operative time was 168 +/- 37â¯min (range 122-228) and mean length of hospital stay was 2â¯days (range 1-4). Success rate is 83% (5/6 continue to catheterize ACE channel), with one patient opting back for appliance through same tract. One patient has required operative revision for stomal stenosis. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first report describing robotic-assisted laparoscopic conversion of cecostomy tube to a catheterizable ACE. The surgical technique we describe is simple and safe with minimal morbidity to the patient. It does not require an enteral conduit, and may represent a valid treatment in patients without the option of using the appendix.

INTRODUCTION: We previously reported our surgical technique for functional constipation for patients who have failed medical management using a novel collaborative approach with gastroenterology input, pre-operative contrast enema, colonic manometry, and laxative protocol combined with a laparoscopic colonic resection with Malone appendicostomy. Now we report our intermediate outcomes. METHODS: Patients who failed bowel management program for functional constipation were reviewed from 3/2014-2/2017. Patients with Hirschsprung disease, anorectal malformation, tethered cord, spina bifida, Trisomy 21, cerebral palsy, mitochondrial disease, or prior colon resection were excluded. RESULTS: Of 31 patients (14 females; median age 12years, follow-up 10.3months) with functional constipation and failed medical management, 26 (84%) had preoperative colonic manometry which, in addition to the contrast enema, guided laparoscopic colon resection. Ten patients (32.3%) are clean with no flushes (1 takes no laxatives, 8 are on low dose laxatives only, and 1 patient was clean on laxatives but chose to switch back to flushes). Of the 21 patients that remain on antegrade flushes, 20 (95.2%) are clean, and one patient (4.8%) continues to soil. We define clean as no soiling and no abnormal stool burden on x-ray. Laxative trials are planned for all patients on an antegrade flush regimen. CONCLUSION: Our intermediate results show that laparoscopic colon resection with Malone appendicostomy allows the majority of patients to be clean on antegrade flushes, and some to be on no or minimal laxatives. TYPE OF STUDY: Retrospective review. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.

OBJECTIVE: To present the results of simultaneous creation of both Mitrofanoff stoma and Malone antegrade continence stoma (MACE) using simple division of the appendix and a cecal extension method. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between June 2011 and November 2016, simultaneous Mitrofanoff and MACE was performed in 16 children (12 children-simple division of the appendix, 4 children-appendicovesicostomy and cecal extension of the appendix). Extension of the appendix was achieved by tubularization of the excised cecal flap next to the short appendicular stump. The new extended channel was then wrapped by cecal wall. RESULTS: Follow-up was 40 months (10-74 months). Currently, in all children, both stomas are easily catheterizable. Obstruction of MACE occurred in 5 children (4 with split appendix, 1 with extended appendix); Mitrofanoff stomal stenosis occurred in 1 child. Endoscopic revision and prolonged catheterization of stenotic stomas were effective in all cases. Wound infection and dehiscence was noted in 2 children (both with split appendix). Drainage and intravenous antibiotics were effective. All Mitrofanoffs are continent. In 4 children there is incident minor leakage of the MACE (3 with split appendix and in 1 with extended appendix). CONCLUSION: The split appendix procedure is feasible. Cecal extension of the appendix seems to be a good option when the appendix is too short for a simple split procedure.

PURPOSE: Children with intractable constipation are often treated with antegrade continence enemas. This requires the creation of a Malone appendicostomy in the operating room or insertion of a cecostomy tube using endoscopic, radiologic, or surgical techniques. The purpose of this study was to assess the evidence regarding these procedures. METHODS: We conducted a search of Embase, Medline, CINAHL, and Web of Science up to October 2016. We included comparative studies of children treated with Malone appendicostomy or cecostomy tube insertion. Two reviewers screened abstracts, reviewed studies, and extracted data. RESULTS: We identified 166 children from three retrospective studies who underwent Malone appendicostomy (n=82) or cecostomy tube insertion (n=84). There were no differences in the number of patients who achieved continence (80% versus 70%, p=0.76), but the need for additional surgery was higher in children treated with Malone appendicostomy (30% versus 12%, p=0.01). Studies reported a variety of tube and stoma-related complications, but quality of life was not assessed using validated measures. CONCLUSION: Malone appendicostomy and cecostomy tube insertion are comparable in terms of achieving continence. Children treated with Malone appendicostomy appear to be more likely to require additional surgery due to early or late complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, 1c.

Spontaneous intestinal perforations are rare in a full term new-born. We report the case of an infant born at 41 weeks' gestation who, three days after birth, had pneumoperitoneum revealing congenital megacolon. Surgical exploration showed diastatic perforation of the cecum associated with a disparity in rectosigmoid caliber. The patient underwent emergency caecostomy after peritoneal washing. Histological examination of the biopsy specimens confirmed the diagnosis of congenital megacolon. The postoperative course was simple and radical treatment was performed six months later.

PURPOSE: Malone antegrade continence enema has been a successful and widely used procedure for achieving fecal continence in children. We present data on the previously uninvestigated issue of patient and caregiver regret following surgery for intractable constipation and fecal incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed all patients undergoing antegrade continence enema or cecostomy creation at a single institution between 2006 and 2016. Patients and caregivers were assessed for decisional regret using the Decisional Regret Scale. Results were correlated with demographics, surgical outcomes and complications. RESULTS: A total of 81 responses (49 caregivers and 32 patients) were obtained. Mean followup was 49 months. Decisional regret was noted in 43 subjects (53%), including mild regret in 38 (47%) and moderate to severe regret in 5 (6%). No statistical difference in regret was noted based on gender, complications or performance of concomitant procedures. On regression analysis incontinence was strongly associated with decisional regret (OR 4.4, 95% CI 1.1-18.1, p <0.001) and regret increased as age at surgery increased, particularly when patients were operated on at age 13 to 15 years (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.0-6.4 for age 13 years; OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.1-7.8 for age 14 years; OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.1-8.8 for age 15 years). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first known study describing decisional regret following surgery for fecal incontinence. Surgical factors aimed at achieving continence may be effective in decreasing postoperative regret. The finding of increased regret in teenage patients compared to younger children should be shared with families since it may impact the age at which surgery is pursued.
