NCT ID: NCT05040139 Completed - Clinical trials for Fecal Incontinence With Fecal Urgency

A Comparison of Quality of Life Between MAlone Procedure and Percutaneaous Endoscopic Caecostomy in Patients With Antegrade Colonic Enema

MAPEC
Start date: November 13, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Background: Antegrade colonic enema (ACE) is a second intent treatment of severe constipation and/or fecal incontinence following the failure of medical treatment. ACE is classically administered through a percutaneous access to the caecum performed surgically according to the Malone procedure (MP). Recently, a novel endoscopic approach named Percutaneous Endoscopic Caecostomy (PEC) has been proposed to perform the percutaneous access to the caecum. PEC has never been compared to the traditional MP in terms of postoperative quality of life and functional outcomes. Objective: The aim of the study is to compare postoperative quality of life between MP and PEC in patients treated with ACE for severe constipation and/or fecal incontinence. Hypothesis: MP and PEC achieve similar quality of life outcomes. Methods: All patients from two prospective databases who underwent MP or PEC for severe constipation and/or fecal incontinence between 2006 and 2016 will be included. They will be contacted to answer questionnaires about quality of life (GIQLI) and functional outcomes including constipation, fecal incontinence and body image assessment (KESS, Wexner and BIQ scores respectively). The main measured outcome will be GIQLI score. Results: The results of this comparative study will determine if the endoscopic and the surgical approaches are similar in terms of quality of life, or if one of them is better than the other. This study will clarify the optimal protocol to perform a caecal percutaneous access before ACE administration in patients suffering from severe constipation and/or fecal incontinence.

NCT ID: NCT02419924 Completed - Clinical trials for Pelvic Floor; Incompetency

Proof of Concept: "Bottom's Up" Seat to Treat Constipation

Start date: April 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Supporting the pelvic floor can reduce symptoms of constipation in patients with refractory constipation due to pelvic floor laxity and excessive perineal descent by means of a modified toilet seat, known as "the Bottom's Up".
