Summary

Senna pods combined with a reduced Goleytely solution dose and simethicone offer effective colonoscopy preparation, matching traditional high-volume Goleytely methods. This optimized regimen significantly reduces foam, improving the colonoscopy experience.

Background:

Effective bowel cleansing is crucial for successful colonoscopy.
Optimizing patient tolerance and preparation efficacy remains an ongoing challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a novel bowel preparation regimen for colonoscopy.
To compare the efficacy and patient experience of a senna pods and reduced Goleytely solution combination against high-volume Goleytely alone.

Main Methods:

A comparative study involving 80 colonoscopies.
Assessment of bowel visualization scores, abdominal distension, intestinal gas composition (hydrogen, methane), and subjective patient complaints.
Evaluation of simethicone's effect on foam reduction.

Main Results:

The combined regimen demonstrated comparable bowel cleansing efficacy to the standard high-volume Goleytely solution.
No significant differences were observed in visual assessment scores or intestinal gas concentrations.
Simethicone addition significantly reduced foam production during the procedure.

Conclusions:

A combination of senna pods, reduced-volume Goleytely solution, and simethicone is a viable and effective alternative for colonoscopy preparation.
This optimized approach offers comparable efficacy to standard methods with potential benefits in patient tolerance and procedural ease due to reduced foam.
