A new complication of the Malone antegrade continence enema

Abstract The Malone antegrade continence enema now commonly known as the ACE procedure was described originally for the treatment of intractable fecal incontinence in 1990. Since this time it has been used widely in many centers for the treatment of constipation and faecal soiling in both adult and pediatric practice. This case report describes a previously unreported complication of an ACE that developed in a disused appendicocecostomy in a child. J Pediatr Surg 37:1216. Copyright 2002, Elsevier Science (USA).
