Golytely, an oral gut lavage solution, was compared with a standard bowel cleansing preparation in patients undergoing elective colonic surgery. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to either a one-day preparation with Golytely and bisacodyl or a standard method using a three-day clear liquid diet, cathartics, and enemas. Colon cleansing was better with Golytely (100 percent optimal cleansing vs. 64 percent, P less than 0.05). Patients receiving Golytely had less weight loss and found this preparation more tolerable. Quantitative stool cultures before and after preparation and intraoperatively were not significantly different between the two preparations. In this surgical bowel preparation study, Golytely and Bisacodyl were found to be safe, rapid, and effective. The preparation was well tolerated by patients and has become our preferred method of colonic cleansing.
