Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a standardized 3-day bowel preparation protocol with a rectal enema before laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer. The study will evaluate whether the dietary bowel preparation protocol can be used instead of a rectal enema while maintaining an adequate surgical view during surgery.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can the dietary bowel preparation protocol provide surgical exposure comparable to a rectal enema?
* Can the dietary bowel preparation protocol reduce the minimum Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum pressure required to obtain an adequate surgical view?
* Does either bowel preparation method cause more discomfort or side effects before surgery?

Researchers will compare a standardized 3-day bowel preparation protocol with a rectal enema before surgery.

Participants will:

* Be randomly assigned to receive either a standardized 3-day bowel preparation protocol or a rectal enema before surgery.
* Undergo standard laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer.
* Have surgical exposure, the minimum Trendelenburg position, the minimum pneumoperitoneum pressure, operative outcomes, postoperative recovery, and bowel preparation-related symptoms and discomfort assessed as part of routine clinical care.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Low-Residue Diet

Participants will follow a standardized 3-day bowel preparation protocol consisting of a low-residue diet on day 3 before surgery, a soft or pureed diet on day 2, and a clear liquid diet on the day before surgery, with adequate hydration throughout the preparation period.

DRUG

Sodium Phosphate Rectal Enema

Participants will receive a single sodium phosphate rectal enema approximately 12 hours before surgery according to the manufacturer's instructions and the institutional bowel preparation protocol.
