Overview
Introduction: Effective treatment for chronic constipation is a real clinical challenge, especially in patients with severe symptoms. If conservative measures do not help, usually subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis has been used as the treatment of choice for refractory slow-transit constipation, but consequences may unfavorably affect quality of life. Percutaneous endoscopic caecostomy (PEC) with antegrade colonic enema (ACE) is a minimally invasive alternative to avoid radical surgery in order to improve bowel movement. Recently, of various catheter placement techniques, a laparoscopic-assisted percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy has been applied in clinical praxis.
Methods: We performed retrospective analysis of 5 patients with Chait Trapdoor catheter placed for purpose of ACE by LAPEC. Main outcome was to assess clinical success of PEC defined by an improvement of at least 50% of baseline KESS at 6M. Secondary outcomes were: procedural parameters and safety of procedure.
Results: Since may 2019 to march 2021, LAPEC was performed in 5 patients. Median follow-up was 14 months (7V12). All PECs were placed successfully in cecum. Treatment success reached 60% (3/5) of patients. Postoperative complication occurred in three patients.
Conclusion: LAPEC provides both endoscopic and laparoscopic visualization, thereby, significantly decreasing potential risks by ensuring precise and safe access to the cecum. Antegrade colonic enema through PEC provides improvement of bowel movement in highly selected patient with severe symptoms.
