Methods

  1. Divide patients into 3 groups ,First group patients doing Soap suds enema (S.S.E.), second group patients doing sodium chloride enema and the last group patient Non per os (NPO) before surgery
  2. Patients information such as age, height, weight, smoking, history of surgery, number of surgeries, diagnosis that required surgery. The complete blood count and the laboratory prior to surgery record by the research team.
  3. Patients do self questionnaire about symptoms such as abdominal pain or discomfort , anxiety ,nausea and vomiting etc. these are for understanding symptoms of patients before bowel preparation perform.
  4. Computer-generated sequence into block for 30 person
  5. Random into 3 groups by nurses .in opaque envelopes with number infront of to identify patients. Surgeon must not know what group of these patients get in.
  6. Patients in S.S.E. group will bowel preparation by soap suds enema until clear at night before surgery.
  7. Patients in unison enema group will Unison enema 100 ml per rectal at night before surgery
  8. Patients NPO groups will NPO and no bowel preparation.
  9. Patients in all group are doing operative preparation such as NPO after midnight, retained foley catheter and clean abdomen and perineum before surgery. Closs matching blood.
  10. In the morning before surgery , patients do self questionnaire about symptoms score such as abdominal pain or discomfort , anxiety ,nausea and vomiting etc. for symptoms of patients after bowel preparation perform last night.
  11. In operation room , surgeon evaluate surgical view, bowel handling after use swabs for bowel packing and record by nurse and after operation finish surgeon evaluate satisfaction of operation.
  12. One day after surgery and before discharge from hospital patients do self questionnaire about symptoms score such as abdominal pain or discomfort , anxiety ,nausea and vomiting etc

    Evaluation in operation

    1. In operation room , surgeon evaluate surgical view, bowel handling after use swabs for bowel packing and record by nurse using visual analog scale score 0 to 10 that depend on surgical view and bowel handling, 0 is the worst surgical view and hardest bowel handling and 10 for extremely good surgical view and easiest bowel handling.
    2. When the operation finished surgeon evaluate satisfaction of operation .

    Measured: 1 day after bowel preparation

  2. Comparing the side effects of soap suds enema group, sodium chloride enema group and the NPO group.

    Patients self answers Questionnaire about symptoms by visual analog scale score 0 to 10 that depend on severity of symptoms 0 is no symptoms and 10 most severe symptoms.

    Symptoms including headache, nausea, vomiting, thirsty, fatique, anxious, discomfort, abdominal pain , bloating, insomnia, ashamed, fecal incontinence.
