Mechanical bowel preparation before elective colorectal surgery: is it necessary?

Abstract: MBP has been for many years a standard clinical procedure for patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. However, many recent researches suggest the omission of MBP, since there are no significant differences regarding postoperative infectious complications, such as anastomotic dehiscence and superficial surgical site infections. Furthermore, MBP is a time-consuming, expensive procedure and causes severe discomfort to the patient. More importantly, the application of MBP has been associated with serious … Show more

“…There were not underwent bowel preparation and the incidence of anastomotic leakage in the FTS group. There was no significant difference in postoperative abdominal infection in the two groups [11]. The traditional view of requirements before the operation of abdomen routine indwelling nasogastric tube and prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting, relieve gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by abdominal distension, until postoperative anal exhaust, in order to increase the safety of abdominal surgery.…”

“…Studies have shown that excessive bowel preparation can increase postoperative abdominal infection and the incidence of anastomotic leakage. In addition to biliary enteric anastomosis surgery, hepatobiliary surgery can enter the intestinal tract, especially the lower digestive tract without bowel preparation [11]. Our results show that minimally invasive surgery is the core content of FTS; precise anastomosis technique is the key to avoid anastomotic leakage.…”

“…Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) was long thought to be mandatory before colonic resection and is used routinely in many parts of the world to avoid postoperative infection, even though several studies and meta‐analyses have reported no decrease in postoperative complications after MBP. Some studies even found an increase in anastomotic leakage after MBP.…”

“…In addition, the steep Trendelenburg position given during surgery may mask the expected clinical symptoms of dehydration (4,5). In these patients, due to bowel preparation and fluid restriction, metabolic acidosis may be seen with electrolyte imbalances, such as hypocalcaemia, hypokalaemia and hypernatraemia, and these may cause clinical arrhythmia, prolonged muscle relaxation, prolongation of recovery from anaesthesia and even acute tubular necrosis and renal failure (6)(7)(8).…”
