IN AUSTRALIA, inadequate bowel prep is observed in around 7% of all colonoscopies.
With more than 900,000 colonoscopies performed annually, this can equate to as many as 63,000 inadequate bowel preparations leading to poor or cancelled colonoscopies.
That's why Bowel Cancer Australia has launched a new resource to help get bowel prep right prior to a colonoscopy.
The new resource provides a list of easy steps for patients to follow, reminders at each stage, and videos to help explain the bowel prep and the white or low-residue diet to follow.
If needed, patients can amend the timing of steps as advised by their colonoscopist.
The resource is configured for every bowel prep solution currently available in Australia.
