Background: Given the limited data on the need of mechanical bowel preparation application before anorectal surgeries and the preferred method for bowel preparation, we aimed to compare saline enema and bisacodyl in rectal preparation before anorectal surgery.
Materials And Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial study. Seventy-nine hospitalized patients for anorectal surgery (hemorrhoid, fissure, and fistula) were recruited by convenient sampling and then randomly allocated to receive 500 cc Saline by rectal enema or six bisacodyl tablets (Sobhan company) beginning from a day before the operation in order to prepare the bowel. After surgery, surgeons' satisfaction of the surgery and patients' satisfaction of the preparation process were evaluated in the ward using Likert score by a nurse blind to the study. Also, the patients were interviewed for pain after the first defecation, using numeric rating scale based on a 0-10 scores. All patients were actively followed-up after discharge for 1 mo concerning postoperative complications. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 16), Mann-Whitney, chi-squared, and Fisher exact tests at the significant level of P < 0/0.5.
Results: A total of 79 patients participated in the study, 38 received 500-cc saline by rectal enema and 41 bisacodyl tablets. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in most variables except for pain after the first defecation (P = 0.032).
Conclusions: According to the results, the bisacodyl approach results in less pain in the first postoperative defecation and fewer complications than the rectal enema. Thus, bisacodyl can be suggested as a superior counterpart for enema.

MRI of early rectal cancer; bisacodyl micro-enema increases submucosal width, reader confidence, and tumor conspicuity.
Abdom Radiol (NY)

Department of Radiology, Oslo University Hospital Ullevål, Oslo, Norway.
Purpose: To investigate the influence of a micro-enema on diagnostic performance, submucosal width, reader confidence, and tumor conspicuity using MRI to stage early rectal cancers (ERC).
Methods: In this single-center study, we consecutively included 50 participants with assumed ERC who all completed MRI with (MRin) and without (MRex) a micro-enema. The diagnostic performance was recorded for two experienced radiologists using histopathology as the gold standard.
Early rectal cancer: The diagnostic performance of MRI supplemented with a rectal micro-enema and a modified staging system to identify tumors eligible for local excision.

Background: In staging early rectal cancers (ERC), submucosal tumor depth is one of the most important features determining the possibility of local excision (LE). The micro-enema (Bisacodyl) induces submucosal edema and may hypothetically improve the visualization of tumor depth.
Purpose: To test the diagnostic performance of MRI to identify ERC suitable for LE when adding a pre-procedural micro-enema and concurrent use of a modified classification system.
Ischemic Colitis Secondary to Olanzapine and Clonidine Use in a Patient With a History of Laxative Abuse.

Ischemic colitis is the most common type of intestinal ischemia and is caused by an acute arterial occlusion, thrombosis, or hypoperfusion of the mesenteric vasculature. This case centers around a 39-year-old female with a past medical history significant for a 20-year history of stimulant laxative abuse, chronic constipation, bipolar disorder, and anxiety that presented with ischemic colitis following 21 days of obstipation. At the time of presentation, the patient was taking olanzapine 15 mg daily for the treatment of bipolar disorder and clonidine 0.

Background: Colonic high-amplitude propagating contractions (HAPC) are generally accepted as a marker of neuromuscular integrity. Little is known about low-amplitude propagating contractions (LAPCs); we evaluated their clinical utility in children.
Methods: Retrospective review of children with functional constipation undergoing low-resolution colon manometry (CM) recording HAPCs and LAPCs (physiologic or bisacodyl-induced) in three groups: constipation, antegrade colonic enemas (ACE), and ileostomy.

Purpose: To compare the effect of three different patient preparation strategies for reducing bowel motion on image quality in pelvic MRI.
Methods: Retrospective study in which 95 consecutive patients undergoing pelvic MRI were subdivided based on preparation type for reduction of bowel motion: group 1 (N = 31) fasted 4 h and applied an enema (Bisacodyl 10 mg); group 2 (N = 32) received no medication; group 3 (N = 32) received intravenous butylscopolamine (Buscopan® 50 mg). Image quality was reviewed by visual assessment of delineation (3-point-scale) of pelvic structures: uterus, adnexa, bladder, rectum, sigmoid, uterosacral ligaments, round ligaments and small bowel.
