[PMID: 38693250 DOI: 10.1007/s00247-024-05936-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
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.

J Pediatr Urol 2023:S1477-5131(23)00131-6. [PMID: 37130762 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2023.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
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.

Abstract
Antibiotic prophylaxis in interventional radiology (IR) is widely used; however, such practice is based on data from the surgical literature. Although published guidelines can help determine the need for prophylactic antibiotic use in the patient undergoing percutaneous procedures, local practice patterns often dictate when such medications are given. In this article, the current state of periprocedural antibiotic use in commonly performed IR procedures (i.e., tube and catheter placements) is presented.

In-hospital resource utilization, outcome analysis and radiation exposure in children undergoing appendicostomy vs cecostomy tube placement. J Pediatr Urol 2020; 16:648.e1-648.e8. [PMID: 32830062 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2020.07.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2020] [Revised: 07/09/2020] [Accepted: 07/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Continence enemas for the purpose of bowel management may be delivered via trans-anal retrograde irrigations, and via antegrade conduits including surgical appendicostomy or placement of cecostomy tube (CT). An appreciation of the relative advantages and disadvantages of each antegrade continence enema (ACE) procedure allows clinicians, parents and children to make an informed decision regarding which procedure is most appropriate in individual cases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in in-hospital resource utilization, surgical outcomes and radiation exposure between children undergoing appendicostomy creation and CT placement at our institution. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of children undergoing these procedures at our institution over a 10-year period. All patients 0-18 years of age undergoing either procedure for any indication were included. Data on demographics, length of stay (LOS), radiation exposure events (REE), and surgical outcomes were collected. RESULTS One hundred fifteen (63 appendicostomy/52 CT) patients were included. Those undergoing CT placement had significantly increased post-procedural LOS, catheter exchanges and REE compared to those undergoing appendicostomy (see Table). Reported rates of bowel control were similar between the two groups, and there was no significant difference in rates of surgical complications, although each group had unique, procedure-specific complications. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION In our study, appendicostomy holds a clear advantage over CT in terms of post-procedural LOS, as well as REE. In general, children with CTs require more planned and unplanned device maintenance procedures than those with appendicostomy. These findings aside, the rates of success for bowel control between the two groups are similar, and the incidence of complications does not differ significantly between the two groups. CT remains a safe and effective conduit for delivery of ACEs, and is a particularly good option in patients whose appendix has been lost or used for another conduit. However, patients wishing to avoid repeated procedures and radiation exposure may find the option of appendicostomy more attractive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have directly compared between cecostomy and appendicostomy for the management of fecal incontinence in pediatric population. This systematic review of the literature describes outcomes and complications following both procedures. We also reviewed studies reporting impact on quality of life and patient satisfaction. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Google Scholar were searched for chronic constipation pediatric patients who underwent cecostomy or appendicostomy. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed quality. RESULTS An initial literature search retrieved 633 citations. After review of all abstracts, 40 studies were included in the final analysis, assessing a total of 2086 patients. The overall rate of complications was lower in the cecostomy group compared to the appendicostomy group (16.6% and 42.3%, respectively). Achievement of fecal continence and improvement in patient quality of life were found to be similar in both groups, however the need for revision of surgery was approximately 15% higher in the appendicostomy group. CONCLUSION Cecostomy has less post procedural complications, however rates of patient satisfaction and impact on quality of life were similar following both procedures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
The antegrade continence enema (ACE) procedures are successful surgical options to achieve bowel cleaning in children with faecal incontinence due to a neuropathy or an anorectal malformation and an intractable constipation. The reversed and orthotopic appendicocecostomy, tubularized ileal conduit and the tubularized cecal flap are frequently applied procedures in the treatment of faecal incontinence (FI). The most common complications are the stoma stenosis, leakage, prolapse, adhesive obstruction and the difficulty in catheterization. Each procedure has its own advantages and disadvantages with different complication rates. The postoperative complications of ACE procedures may reduce patient compliance and quality of life. Most of these complications can be preventable and are easy to manage. This review aimed to discuss the prevention and management strategies for various ACE procedure complications.

Abstract
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 (p < 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.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBoD) commonly affects patients with spina bifida, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury among other neurologic insults. NBoD is a significant source of physical and psychosocial morbidity. Treating NBoD requires a diligent relationship between patient, caretaker, and provider in establishing and maintaining a successful bowel program. A well designed bowel program allows for regular, predictable bowel movements and prevents episodes of fecal incontinence. RECENT FINDINGS Treatment options for NBoD span conservative lifestyle changes to fecal diversion depending on the nature of the dysfunction. Lifestyle changes and oral laxatives are effective for many patients. Patients requiring more advanced therapy progress to transanal irrigation devices and retrograde enemas. Those receiving enemas may opt for antegrade enema administration via a Malone antegrade continence enema or Chait cecostomy button, which are increasingly performed in a minimally invasive fashion. Select patients benefit from fecal diversion, which simplifies care in more severe cases. SUMMARY Many medical and surgical options are available for patients with NBoD. Selecting the appropriate medical or surgical treatment involves a careful evaluation of each patient's physical, psychosocial, financial, and geographic variables in an effort to optimize bowel function.

Abstract
Over the past 30 years, image-guided placement of gastrostomies and cecostomies for gastrointestinal decompression has developed into a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic bowel obstruction. Gastrostomies and cecostomies relieve patient symptoms, can prevent serious complications such as colonic perforation, and may bridge patients to more definitive treatment for the underlying cause of obstruction. This article will review the history of decompressive gastrostomies and cecostomies as well as the indications, contraindications, technique, complications, and outcomes of these procedures.

Abstract
Acute upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding, enteral feeding, cecostomy tubes and luminal strictures are some of the common reasons for gastroenterology service. While surgery was initially considered the main treatment modality, the advent of both therapeutic endoscopy and interventional radiology have resulted in the paradigm shift in the management of these conditions. In this paper, we discuss the patient’s work up, indications, and complementary roles of endoscopic and angiographic management in the settings of gastrointestinal bleeding, enteral feeding, cecostomy tube placement and luminal strictures. These conditions often require multidisciplinary approaches involving a team of interventional radiologists, gastroenterologists and surgeons. Further, the authors also aim to describe how the fields of interventional radiology and gastrointestinal endoscopy are overlapping and complementary in the management of these complex conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE) procedure is performed for patients with fecal incontinence and constipation who do not respond to medical therapy. The MACE procedure provides antegrade catheter access to the right colon and allows administration of enemas to help evacuate the bowel regularly. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for surgical complications in children who undergo the MACE procedure. METHOD Records from 97 pediatric patients who underwent MACE procedure were reviewed retrospectively. Data collected included age, sex, weight (obese/not obese), stomal location, presence of a permanent button/catheter in the stoma, open vs. laparoscopic surgery, and etiology of fecal incontinence/constipation. The complications reviewed included stomal stenosis, leakage, and stomal site infection. The relationships between the independent variables and complications were assessed using chi-square tests and Fisher's exact test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS Overall, 66 (68%) patients had at least one complication. Twenty-three (23.7%) patients developed stomal stenosis, and 27 (27.8%) patients had significant stomal leakage. Insertion of a stomal button/catheter device was associated with an increased risk of developing stomal leakage and stomal infection. The presence of a stomal button/catheter was also associated with a decreased risk of stomal stenosis (Figure). The non-intubated, imbricated sub-population, preteen patients (<12 years old) experienced more stomal leakage than teenage patients. In this subgroup, patients with umbilical stomas also experienced more leakage than patients with right lower quadrant (RLQ) stomas. CONCLUSION The prevalence rates of stomal complications in our study were consistent with previously reported series. In our study, however, stomal leakage had a higher prevalence in comparison with stomal stenosis. This seems to be related to the heterogeneity of the study group, which contained two variants of the MACE procedure; non-imbricated, intubated MACE and imbricated, non-intubated MACE. The use of stomal buttons in conjunction with MACE has previously been reported without changes in complication rates. We found the use of stomal buttons/catheters to be associated with changes in the prevalence of stomal complications. Stomal complications are common in the MACE procedure. The use of a permanent stomal button/catheter is associated with changes in the rates of stomal complications. While many find an umbilical stomal site is more cosmetically appealing, there is an increased risk of leakage with imbricated, non-intubated stomas. In the non-intubated, imbricated sub-population, the MACE procedure results in a higher risk of stomal leakage in preteen patients in comparison with teenage patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the safety and quality of life in adult patients undergoing cecostomy tube placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Percutaneous cecostomy was performed in 23 adults (10 men and 13 women) with neurogenic bowel for whom noninvasive therapeutic approaches for chronic refractory constipation or fecal incontinence had failed. Mean patient age was 41 years (range, 19-74 y). A retrospective, standardized questionnaire evaluated satisfaction and quality of life before and after cecostomy. RESULTS All 23 cecostomy procedures were technically successful with no intraprocedural complications. At a mean follow-up of 42 months (range, 1-160 mo), there was one (5%) major complication, a pericecal abscess. One or more minor complications in 11 of 23 (48%) patients included leaking around the tube (5 of 23; 22%) and partial or complete dislodgment of the tube (3 of 23; 13%). In all cases, the cecostomy tube was exchanged successfully. Satisfaction scores improved from a mean of 2.2 points (range, 0-6 points; median, 1.5) to 7.6 points (range, 4-10 points; median, 8). The percentage of patients using laxative softeners decreased from 74% to 40%, and patients requiring assistance decreased from 52% to 35% after cecostomy placement. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous cecostomy is a safe procedure for the management of adult patients. Patients are able to achieve greater independence in their activities of daily living and are highly satisfied with the outcomes.
