The Malone antegrade continence enema

J Pediatr Surg. 1995 Jan;30(1):68-71. doi: 10.1016/0022-3468(95)90613-4.

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.
