Popis: | Background: Chronic constipation and encopresis are common problems in children with spina bifida and anorectal anomalies. Commonly used therapies include complicated bowel regimens and antegrade continence enemas delivered via surgically placed appendicostomies and radiologically placed cecostomies. Methods: A technique is described for percutaneous placement of cecostomies for the delivery of continence enemas or venting. Results: Percutaneous cecostomies were placed in 12 patients. Improvement in bowel management occurred in all patients. Conclusions: Percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy is a safe and effective method for the treatment of intractable constipation. |
