Bowel preparation for colorectal surgery: with and without mannitol
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION In our country due to some limitations, mannitol is widely used for bowel preparation. Bowel preparation with mannitol has several side effects. AIM To compare complication of mechanical bowel preparation with and without mannitol. MATERIAL AND METHODS This case control study was carried out in Imam Khomeini and Abuzar children's hospitals. Sixty cases of patients who underwent colorectal surgery were included in this study. Pull-through, colostomy closure, and anorectoplasty were the surgical procedures. Subjects were randomly placed in the case or control group. Infection, electrolyte disturbances, fever, and leukocytosis were recorded. Multivariate analysis was done using PRISM. Odds ratio was calculate with CI = 95%. RESULTS Fourteen boys and 16 girls were included in group I. Ten boys and 20 girls were included in group II. Twenty colostomies, 6 pull-throughs, and 4 anorectoplasties were performed in group I. Twenty-one colostomies, 5 pull-throughs, and 4 anorectoplasties were done in group II. Mean age of the patients was 2.63 ±1.9 and 2.66 ±1.68 for group I and group II respectively (p = 0.262). Following bowel preparation with mannitol, 14 patients had mild fever with mean body temperature of 38.1°C. Three subjects had postsurgical fever within 48 h of surgery. In group II, postoperative fever was found in 2 subjects. CONCLUSIONS Hypernatremia, hypokalemia, and leukocytosis were more common in patients who underwent bowel preparation with mannitol.

Background: Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that the rate of anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic colorectal surgery does not differ between patients with or without preoperative bowel preparation. There is, however, still an ongoing discussion that infectious complications consequential to anastomotic leakage, in particular sepsis, are more severe in patients without preoperat...

متن کاملMeta-analysis of randomized clinical trials of colorectal surgery with or without mechanical bowel preparation (Br J Surg 2004; 91: 1125-1130).
BACKGROUND Mechanical bowel preparation is used routinely before colorectal surgery, but some randomized clinical trials have suggested that it is of no benefit. This study assesses whether such bowel preparation may safely be omitted before elective colorectal surgery. METHODS A search of the literature was performed; the inclusion criteria were randomized clinical trials comparing bowel pre...
