    "abstract": "Regular large intestine cleansing using rectal enemas in patients with impairment of pelvic organs is technically demanding and, frequently insufficient. Defecation is made easier using Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE), which is based on the same principles as continent vesicostomy.\nAssessment of up-to-date experience with the MACE in children.\nDuring 2004-2007, the MACE stoma was completed in 7 child patients with spinal dysraphia and severe intestinal dysfunction (meningomyelocele 4x, cerebral palsy 1x, rectal atresia 2x) aged 2-15 y.o.a. In all the subjects, in situ adjusted appendix was used for the construction and, furthermore, continent vesicostomy was performed in two children.\nSeven children were followed up for a period of 10-48 months. The enema volume ranged from 100 to 600 ml and it was administered for 20-30 min. The intestine is cleansed within 20-40 minutes. Frequency of the enemas was once daily in 6 patients and every other day in one girl. Complete continence was achieved and obstipation resolved in 5 children, negligible soiling of a diaper lining persisted in 2 subjects. Stenosis of the appendix stoma in two children was managed by its dilation 3 and 5 months postoperatively.\nMACE stoma facilitates regular cleansing of the large intestine and subsequent establishment of stool continence in patients with spinal dysraphia, as well as in patients with any intestinal dysfunction, requiring regular administration of enemas. It is safe to be used in patients with concomittant continent stoma of the urinary tract.",
