Summary

The colonoscopy accuracy and safety depend on the quality of colon cleansing. An inadequately prepped bowel will increase the risk of missing a lesion, prolong procedure, increase patient discomfort, and eventually increase complication rate. Therefore an excellent colon cleansing is of extreme importance to the endoscopist and the patient.

Split Fortrans® prep with sugar-free mentholyptus drops (Halls®) has a better palatability and tolerability than the reduced volume ascorbic acid-supplemented PEG-electrolyte (MoviPrep®) in bowel cleansing for colonoscopy.
