A novel on-table colonic lavage technique is presented for patients undergoing surgery with inadequate bowel preparation. This method, performed after colon resection and anastomosis, offers a solution for improved surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Techniques
  • Gastroenterology
  • Colorectal Surgery

Background:

  • Inadequate bowel preparation poses challenges in elective and semi-elective colorectal surgery.
  • Ensuring a clean colon is crucial for reducing surgical site infections and complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a new on-table colonic lavage technique.
  • To address the issue of inadequate bowel preparation during colorectal surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A novel on-table colonic lavage was developed.
  • The technique involves performing lavage after colon resection and anastomosis.
  • This method was applied in a series of four patients.

Main Results:

  • The described technique was successfully applied in four surgical cases.

  • The on-table lavage was performed post-resection and anastomosis.
  • This approach managed patients with previously inadequate bowel preparation.

    • Conclusions:

    • The new on-table colonic lavage technique is a viable option for patients with inadequate bowel preparation.
    • Performing lavage after anastomosis offers a practical solution in specific surgical scenarios.
    • Further studies may explore the broader applicability and efficacy of this method.
