Appendicostomy

An appendicostomy is a surgery for children who have problems with leaking stool (incontinence). This can be due to a birth anomaly that makes the child unable to hold in their stool.

Cecostomy/Chait

A cecostomy tube, or Chait catheter, is a soft tube used to clean and flush out the bowel system. It’s a comfortable and convenient treatment that helps prevent constipation and fecal incontinence.
