Bowel Preparation
Advances in Surgery(2016)
Abstract
The aim of bowel preparation is to prime the colon for surgery, reduce septic complications and facilitate safe surgery. Evidence for the benefits of antibiotic preparation in colorectal surgery has existed for more than 50 years. The argument concerning combined use of antibiotics and mechanical bowel preparation (MBP), as well as any of the individual components, has continued to evolve. Recent recommendations suggest dispensing with bowel preparation be altogether. However, the pendulum is swinging back towards maximal preparation with MBP and oral antibiotics.
