Introduction: The antegrade continence enema (ACE) is a surgical technique that establishes a route for colonic irrigation, necessitating a detailed comprehension of the procedural methodology, including the conduit construction, the catheters selection, and the administration of irrigation solutions. It is critical to disseminate comprehensive information regarding ACE procedures to health-care professionals and caregivers to enhance their understanding and support management of patients undergoing this intervention. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel educational tool designed to augment the knowledge base of physicians and caregivers regarding ACE procedures.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the use of antegrade continence enemas (ACE) in children with medically refractory fecal incontinence and constipation, focusing on patient perceptions and the potential to discontinue the use of the associated appendicostomy/cecostomy tube.
- Data was gathered from 165 patients who underwent ACE procedures between 2012 and 2021, with 82 completing a follow-up survey revealing satisfaction rates and reasons for discontinuing flushes.
- Findings indicate a high satisfaction rate (76.8% very satisfied), with 21.8% of patients able to stop using flushes for various reasons, and a strong recommendation rate for ACE among respondents.
