View clinical trials related to Colon Cleansing.
Filter by:Traditionally, many gynecologic surgeons have asked patients to perform a cleansing enema the night before a vaginal surgery done to repair pelvic organ prolapse (dropped bladder, dropped uterus). The belief is that there is then less or no stool present at the vaginal incision and less chance of infection of the wound by bowel bacteria. However, not all surgeons follow this practice. There is no evidence in the medical literature if one way is better than the other. In this study, patients scheduled for vaginal surgery to correct prolapse will be randomly assigned to perform an enema or not to perform an enema.
Good colon cleansing is pivotal for achieving speedy and safe colonoscopic examination with high adenoma detection rate.Previous studies, including our previous RCT conducted in 2004 to 2005, have demonstrated that high yield rate can be achieved by on-the-day colon preparation with 2000 ml PEG-ELS. Poor patient compliance, however, is the main hurdle to complete ingestion of 2000 ml PEG-ELS not only for subjects with lower body weight but also for those with normal BMI or body weight.The main cause of poor patient compliance includes abdominal pain, bloating, nausea or vomiting during ingestion of cleansing fluid.Though diet restriction with low-fiber diet is always advised to every screen before colonoscopy, the extent of diet restriction is widely variable and thus influences the degree of colon cleansing. With commercialized low-residue diet (CLRD), diet restriction will be well controlled and variability of colon cleansing can be minimized such that guarantee a colonoscopy with good quality. In this RCT, we will compare the compliance of screen during colon cleansing using different protocol: namely 2000 ml PEG-ELS vs. 1500 ml plus low-residue diet.
