Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was undertaken to determine whether a mechanical bowel preparation with 90 ml of sodium phosphate (NaP) solution (Group II) increased the acceptability of bowel preparation and reduced discomfort compared with 2 liters of polyethylene glycol (PEG) combined with a bisacodyl 20 mg (Group I).
Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, single-blinded study. Forty-four patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery in the National Health Insurance Corporation Ilsan Hospital from March 2002 to November 2002 were included in this study. We assessed the patients´ tolerance and cleansing ability, as well as the surgeon´s satisfaction, by using a structured questionnaire. Postoperative complications were also evaluated.
Results: Patient tolerance to NaP was higher than it was to PEG (P=0.034). The cleansing ability and the surgeon´s satisfaction were not different between the two groups (P=0.217, P=0.349). There is no significant postoperative complication except for 1 case of wound infection in both group.
Conclusions: Both oral solutions proved to be equally effective and safe. However, patient tolerance to the small volume of NaP demonstrated a clear advantage over the traditional PEG solution. J Korean Soc Coloproctol 2004; 20:27-31
