The antegrade continence enema (ACE) procedure can be trialed using a minimally invasive caecostomy button. This approach assesses ACE effectiveness before a permanent procedure, offering a less invasive option for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • The antegrade continence enema (ACE) is an increasingly utilized procedure for managing fecal incontinence.
  • While promising, the success rates of traditional ACE procedures are not universal, necessitating alternative approaches.
  • A minimally invasive option to trial ACE is desirable to assess patient suitability and procedural benefit.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and technical aspects of using a colonoscopically inserted caecostomy button for a trial period of the antegrade continence enema (ACE).
  • To assess the potential of this staged approach in determining the efficacy of ACE for individual patients.
  • To provide a less invasive method for initiating ACE therapy.

Main Methods:

  • A series of five patients underwent staged endoscopic insertion of a MIC-KEY caecostomy button.
  • The procedure involved colonoscopic placement of the button to facilitate ACE.
  • Technical aspects of the button insertion and subsequent ACE management were documented.

Main Results:

  • The study reports on five patients who successfully underwent the staged endoscopic insertion of a MIC-KEY caecostomy button.
  • The caecostomy button allowed for a trial period of ACE, enabling assessment of its benefits.
  • Technical details of the procedure were discussed, highlighting its feasibility.

Conclusions:

  • Colonoscopic insertion of a caecostomy button offers a viable and relatively minor procedure for trialing the antegrade continence enema (ACE).
  • This staged approach can help determine the potential benefit of a permanent ACE procedure.
  • Successful trials via the caecostomy button can lead to continued management with the button or progression to a formal ACE procedure.
