Five consecutive patients with obstructing carcinoma of the left colon were successfully managed by long intestinal tube decompression. The tube was introduced pernasal into the duodenum on the day of admission. The tube advanced spontaneously into the ascending colon with marked abdominal decompression within several days. Thereafter, preoperative colonic irrigation through this tube was performed. In three of five patients, segmental colectomy was accomplished without intraoperative cleansing. In two patients, fecal residue was removed by intraoperative colonic irrigation using the long tube. Proximal colostomy was avoided in all patients. This treatment protocol enabled: 1) both preoperative and intraoperative colonic irrigation and cleansing; 2) elective surgery instead of emergency; 3) safe one-stage operation with secure colonic anastomosis; and 4) segmental resection rather than subtotal resection of the colon.

In a controlled study, we analyzed the efficiency of cleansing out the colon and the best contrast medium of two different regimens (total n = 237) for preparing the colon for double-contrast examination. The recommendations regarding diet and liquid intake, contrast medium and examination technique were identical in both groups. The combination laxative Prepacol without cleansing enema resulted in a more thoroughly cleaned colon that ricinol with cleansing enema (very good/good cleanliness: Prepacol, 92.4%; ricinol, 83.2%, p less than 0.05). However, the quality of contrast medium (good: Prepacol 71.2% as opposed to ricinol 74.8%) was (independent of the preparation method) below standard regarding cleansing of the colon. Better patient compliance was accomplished by Prepacol because the medication was easier to take, and omitting the cleansing enema was a reduction in burden for both patients and medical staff. Written instructions for diet is essential and was of help to the patients.

Sixty-four patients undergoing elective operations for cancer of the colon and rectum were given mechanical bowel preparation in the form of whole gut irrigation with polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution. When their colonic cleansing scores were compared, it was found that the preparation was significantly less effective in the left colon (n = 49) than in the right (n = 15), the mean (SEM) scores being 3.8 (0.56) and 2.65 (1.01), respectively, p less than 0.001. We then compared the scores of 26 patients with stenosing lesions with those of 38 that were not: in the right colon the score for stenosing tumours was 3.9 (0.14) compared with 3.8 (0.25) for non-stenosing tumours. In the left colon, however, they were 2.3 (0.23) and 2.9 (0.18), respectively (p less than 0.01). We conclude that stenosis of the colon caused by malignant lesions reduces the efficacy of mechanical bowel preparation with polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution in the left colon but not in the right colon.
