Abstract
To our knowledge, this is the first report describing robotic-assisted laparoscopic conversion of cecostomy tube to a catheterizable ACE. The surgical technique we describe is simple and safe with minimal morbidity to the patient. It does not require an enteral conduit, and may represent a valid treatment in patients without the option of using the appendix.
