Popis: Purpose Severe fecal incontinente is classicaly treated by the MACE procedure, using the appendix in situ as the preferred channel. We prefer to do wash-outs in the left-colon in a transverse-based flap previously described by the authors. We investigated experimentally feasibility of performing this technique with laparoscopy. Material and Methods A mini-pig was used in the experiment. The left-colon was identified, a Foley tube inserted in the colon through the anterior wall and the balloon insuflated for better exposition of the bowel. We defined a 3cm transverse flap having the meso medially and the distal part of the flap laterally. The bowel was closed by non-interrupted 3.0 catgut suture and the flap tubularized over a 12 fr. Foley tube by interrupted sutures. Finally the tube was embedded over a seromuscular suture and the distal tube anastomosed to a skin flap. Results The technique proved to be feasible and of medium complexity for an experienced laparoscopist. Conclusions We believe that the laparoscopic approach is a valid “minimal invasive” option for the left-colon stoma for antegrade wash-outs.
