Whole-gut irrigation as a means of cleaning the colon. 1976

J Skucas, and W Cutcliff, and H W Fischer

The authors describe a whole-gut irrigation method of cleaning the colon. Normal volunteers drank an irrigant solution at varying rates, and all but one achieved a radiologically clean colon within several hours. This method is proposed for use in the occasional study where a clean colon must be obtained in a relatively short period of time.
