title: An efficient system for controlled distal colorectal irrigation.
abstract: We have found this setup to be most useful. For those surgeons who incorporate rectal irrigation as part of their treatment plan for patients with rectal injuries, we would recommend trial of this simple yet effective technique. The more senior anesthesia and nursing staff who have suffered through the vagaries of widespread fecal contamination from the beginning to the end of the operation rapidly become advocates of this procedure.
