Purpose: To assess the safety and quality of life in adult patients undergoing cecostomy tube placement.
Materials And Methods: Percutaneous cecostomy was performed in 23 adults (10 men and 13 women) with neurogenic bowel for whom noninvasive therapeutic approaches for chronic refractory constipation or fecal incontinence had failed. Mean patient age was 41 years (range, 19-74 y). A retrospective, standardized questionnaire evaluated satisfaction and quality of life before and after cecostomy.
Results: All 23 cecostomy procedures were technically successful with no intraprocedural complications. At a mean follow-up of 42 months (range, 1-160 mo), there was one (5%) major complication, a pericecal abscess. One or more minor complications in 11 of 23 (48%) patients included leaking around the tube (5 of 23; 22%) and partial or complete dislodgment of the tube (3 of 23; 13%). In all cases, the cecostomy tube was exchanged successfully. Satisfaction scores improved from a mean of 2.2 points (range, 0-6 points; median, 1.5) to 7.6 points (range, 4-10 points; median, 8). The percentage of patients using laxative softeners decreased from 74% to 40%, and patients requiring assistance decreased from 52% to 35% after cecostomy placement.
Conclusions: Percutaneous cecostomy is a safe procedure for the management of adult patients. Patients are able to achieve greater independence in their activities of daily living and are highly satisfied with the outcomes.

Introduction: Percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy (PEC) is a viable treatment option for patients with persistent or recurrent acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO; Ogilvie's syndrome). It should be generally considered in patients that are refractory to pharmacologic and endoscopic decompression, especially those not amenable to surgical intervention due to an increased perioperative risk. Physicians are rather unfamiliar with this approach given the limited number of reports in the literature and paucity of guideline resources, although guidelines concerning ACPO and covering the role of endoscopy were recently published by three major expert societies, all within the last 2 years.

The updated Czech guidelines differ in some aspects from the 2021 guidelines issued by the ESCMID Study Group for Clostridium difficile. The key points of these Czech recommendations may be summarized as follows: • The drug of choice for hospitalized patients is orally administered fidaxomicin or vancomycin.

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.
