Abstract

The previously reported Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE) was used in 21 children for intractable fecal incontinence or constipation. Twelve are completely clean, and three are much improved (71% success rate). However, only four of the 21 have not had some type of complication, either minor or major. Five of the 21 now have a colostomy, and one has abandoned the procedure.

    The phosphate enema initiates defecation and the normal saline flush ensures that the colon is completely clean. The literature and our study have confirmed that some children require no flush, others require no phosphate enema and others need large volumes of both [26]. The recommended dose is to give 60 ml of a phosphate enema diluted in an equal volume of saline.
