The most common indications were neurological disorders (25.8%), prior surgeries (16.8%), idiopathic constipation (14.2%), and traumatic spinal injuries (11.6%). Techniques included terminal ileal loop (37.9%), percutaneous endoscopic cecostomy (26.0%), and appendicostomy (24.8%). Minor stoma-related complications were most frequent (39.1%), followed by fecal leakage (16.2%) and stoma stenosis (11.3%). Median follow-up was 28.5\u00a0months. At final follow-up, 75.1% of patients continued using MACE, while 9.8% required colostomy.
