Percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy is a safe and effective treatment for acute colonic pseudo-obstruction and neurogenic bowel in adults. This minimally invasive procedure offers a definitive solution when other treatments fail.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Limited reports exist on percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy (PEC) in adult patients.
  • This study retrospectively reviewed PEC in adult cases of acute colonic pseudo-obstruction and neurogenic bowel.

Observation:

  • PEC served as a definitive treatment in all reviewed cases.
  • Complications were minimal, including transient fever and self-limited bleeding.
  • No mortality or need for surgical intervention was observed.

Findings:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy demonstrated effectiveness in managing acute colonic pseudo-obstruction.
  • The procedure was successful in treating neurogenic bowel, with tubes functioning well in most patients.
  • One patient with neurogenic bowel experienced a fatal outcome due to comorbid conditions, unrelated to the procedure.

Implications:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy is a viable and safe option for refractory cases of acute colonic pseudo-obstruction and neurogenic bowel.
  • The findings support PEC as an effective alternative to surgical intervention.
  • Further research may explore expanded indications and long-term outcomes of PEC.
