[Comparative evaluation of a new colon preparation method prior to a double-contrast barium enema: toward discontinuation of the cleansing enema].
Evaluation of the efficacy and adequacy for double contrast barium enema of a recently described oral lavage solution associated with bisacodyl (Prepacol) and its comparison with a traditional method of colon cleansing (low-residue diet, cathartics and water enema) are reported. Two similar groups of 100 outpatients were compared. The new cleansing method presents several interesting advantages: time saving for the nurse of the radiology department and the patient himself (cleansing enema is no longer required), better patient acceptance, equal evacuation of fecal residue but significantly better evacuation of residual liquid resulting in better mucosal coating.
