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 daily irrigation routines.
- Common complications include stomal stenosis, leakage, and catheterization difficulty—regular follow-up and troubleshooting are essential.
- MACE can be combined with other procedures like ACE (appendicostomy) or cecostomy depending on anatomy and patient needs.
- Success requires multidisciplinary support including surgery, nursing education, and family commitment to the irrigation protocol.
