Key takeaways
- Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE) procedure creates a catheterizable channel for antegrade colonic irrigation in fecal incontinence patients.
- Patient selection is critical: MACE works best for motivated patients with intact rectal sensation who can manage the irrigation regimen.
- Common complications include stomal stenosis, leakage, and catheterization difficulty—regular follow-up and troubleshooting are essential.
- The appendix is the preferred conduit, but alternatives like cecal flap tubes or button devices can be used when the appendix is unavailable.
- Success requires multidisciplinary support: surgery, nursing education, and family commitment to the daily irrigation protocol.
