Area of Science:

  • Surgical techniques
  • Gastrointestinal surgery
  • Colorectal surgery

Background:

  • Intraoperative colonic lavage is crucial for preparing the colon for anastomosis.
  • Traditional methods can be time-consuming and less efficient.
  • A need exists for faster, more effective intraoperative colonic cleansing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel, time-saving method for on-table colonic lavage.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and efficiency of this new technique.

Main Methods:

  • A balloon-catheter inserted via caecotomy connected to an abdominal lavage pump.
  • Continuous irrigation with Ringer's solution at 1 L/min.
  • Controlled pressure with an overflow mechanism.
  • Cleansing of the rectal stump after anastomosis mobilization.

Main Results:

  • The method was used in 24 patients between 1992 and 1995.
  • Average volume of Ringer's solution used was 8.9 L.
  • Average increase in operation time was 10 minutes.

Conclusions:

  • This on-table colonic lavage method is efficient and time-saving.
  • It allows for thorough cleansing of the colon and rectal stump.
  • The technique minimally impacts overall surgical duration.
