          Abstract

          Aim:

          The aim of this study was to present the long-term institutional experience and outcomes of our Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE) procedure using the proximal appendix without any antireflux procedure.

          Materials and Methods:

          A single-center prospective study of 29 children undergoing a simplified Malone antegrade continence enema (SMACE) procedure from 2006 to 2017 was conducted using the appendix, whole or split. The mean follow-up period was 11.5 years (ranging from 5 to 16 years).

          Results:

          In 25 children, the proximal appendix was used, and in 4 cases, the whole appendix was used as a conduit. On follow-up, the MACE channel has been working well in 29/29 patients. Among the complications, seven patients had stomal stenosis, which was managed by home dilatation. There was no reflux of stools seen in any of the patients.

          Conclusion:

          The SMACE procedure, without incorporating an antireflux mechanism, is technically simpler and saves operative time. Most importantly, the results are satisfactory and comparable with procedures using antireflux techniques.

          Preliminary report: the antegrade continence enema.

          The principles of antegrade colonic washout and the Mitrofanoff non-refluxing catheterisable channel were combined to produce a continent catheterisable colonic stoma. The intention was that antegrade washouts delivered by this route would produce complete colonic emptying and thereby prevent soiling. The procedure has been successfully carried out in five patients with intractable faecal incontinence.

            New techniques for construction of efferent conduits based on the Mitrofanoff principle.

            Presently, urinary diversion with continence mechanisms based on the Mitrofanoff principle is frequently used. For its construction, the critical issue is related to the choice of efferent conduit; the most widely used are the appendix and the tapered ileum. Here, we present two alternative techniques for construction of tubes applicable to the same function. Ten dogs underwent operations with two different types of tubes constructed through transversal tubularization of small segments of ileum. These tubes were implanted in the bladder. The dogs were followed up for 30 days, during which all were continent. Their tubes were easily catheterized. The techniques described met the criteria defined for an efferent tube to be used according to the Mitrofanoff principle.

              Yang needle tunneling technique in creating antireflux and continent mechanisms.

              A total of 7 patients underwent cystectomy due to bladder malignancy and the ileum was used for lower urinary tract reconstruction (5 underwent bladder substitutions, 1 an internal ileal reservoir and 1 ileal conduit diversion). Antireflux mechanisms were created by submucosally tunneled ureters and in 1 case the continent mechanism was created by a submucosally tunneled ileal tube. In all cases the Yang needle was used, which consists of a needle portion and a forceps portion. The selected position of the ileum for ureteral and ileal tube implantation is injected with normal saline submucosally to form a wheal. The Yang needle is introduced submucosally, guided under the wheal for a certain distance and then directed through the ileal wall. Smooth dilation of the tunnel is achieved with the dilated portion of the needle without laceration of the mucosa. The needle portion is then removed. The ureter or ileal tube is grasped by the forceps portion of the needle and brought through the tunnel to the mucosal side of the ileal plate, followed by mucosa-to-mucosa anastomosis. For all 14 ureteral implantations only 1 ureter had reflux on postoperative radiographic studies and only 1 of 4 hydroureters remained. No additional obstructive lesions or pyelonephritis was noted postoperatively. The patient whose continent mechanism is formed by the submucosal tunneled ileal tube method is continent and free of an appliance. The Yang needle tunneling technique may be a choice in the creation of antireflux and continent mechanisms.
