  • Title: Effective outpatient use of polyethylene glycol-electrolyte bowel preparation for radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion.
    Author: Wishnow KI, Johnson DE, Babaian RJ, Swanson DA, Evans RE, von Eschenbach AC.
    Journal: Urology; 1988 Jan; 31(1):7-9. PubMed ID: 3336931.
    Abstract:
    In this prospective study we examined the oral electrolyte-overload method of bowel preparation for patients who were to undergo radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion. We found it to be a safe and effective mechanical bowel preparation that can be used by outpatients. It was well tolerated and resulted in adequate bowel cleansing and a low incidence of postoperative wound infections and pyelonephritis. A major advantage of this method is that it reduced the period of preoperative hospitalization.
