Cleanse the colon first!

Bowel preparation or colonic cleansing is defined as clearing of the bowel of fecal matter for adequate examination of the colon by colonoscopy, contrast enema or for colorectal surgery.

All colonic procedures, intended for diagnosis as well as for therapeutic reasons, require a clean colon without any fecal matter.

Benefits of good bowel preparation are:

• reduces time taken to perform colonoscopy as mucosa is clearly visible at examination.
• allows intra-operative endoscopy and reduces incidence of infectious complication.
• safer to perform anastomosis.

A clean colon, with visible mucosa will assure clinicians of an accurate and safe diagnosis. Besides, you may want an isotonic colonic lavage solution, which does not alter the electrolyte balance, as this is critical in the elderly and patients with heart problems.
