Abstract;Colonoscopy (CF) is fundamental to the one of follow-up programs in patients after colorectal cancer operated. The aim of this study is to determine the better bowel preparation for CF in these patients. A prospective randomized trial to compare the smaller (Group A: 1,000ml) versus standard volumes of PEG preparation (Group B: 2,000ml) was conducted. The colonoscopists were unaware of the preparation volumes until the examinations were over. A total of 59 patients were enrolled in the study. There were 32 patients in Group A and 27 in Group B. Only 16 of 32 patients (50%) had an excellent and good preparation in Group A (vs. 78% Group B, p<0.05). However, in the oral side colon cancer operated patients, 9 of 10 patients (90%) had an excellent and good preparation in Group A. In the anal side colon cancer and rectal cancer operated patients, only 7 of 22 patients (32%) had an excellent and good preparation in Group A. These results suggested that it is possible to reduce the PEG volume (1,000ml) in the oral side colon cancer operated patients. Some anal side colon and rectal cancer operated patients had poor preparation with the standard preparation method (2,000ml). (author abst.)
