In brief
This study examines colonic function in pediatric patients undergoing antegrade continence enema (ACE) therapy for constipation, using manometry and imaging to assess motility patterns and anatomical changes. Findings reveal that ACE treatment may cause proximal colonic dilation without compromising underlying motility function.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
The aim of this study was to evaluate colonic motility and anatomy in children treated with antegrade continence enema (ACE), utilizing colonic manometry (CM) and contrast enema (CE) studies.
