pubmed-article:2089289 | pubmed:abstractText | The paper gives a short critical bibliographic review of colonic preparation for endoscopy, focusing on the out-patient use of gastrointestinal endoscopy. A method of preparation based on dietary restrictions plus cathartics is proposed that allows the number of enemas used to be reduced to a minimum. The results obtained in 265 out-patients undergoing colonoscopy confirm the efficacy, practicality and tolerability of the method. | lld:pubmed |
