Preoperative preparation for colon cancer treatment In addition to routine preoperative preparation, colon surgery must be well prepared for the intestine, including ① cleaning the intestine: eat a diet with little or no residue two days before surgery; take laxatives 1 to 2 days before surgery. If there is constipation or incomplete intestinal obstruction, take the medicine a few days in advance as appropriate; cleansing enema, which can be performed one or several days before surgery depending on whether there is difficulty in defecation. ② Intestinal disinfection: kill pathogenic bacteria in the intestine, especially common anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides fragilis, and Gram-negative aerobic rods. The former mainly uses metronidazole (Flagyl), and the latter can use sulfonamides, neomycin, erythromycin, kanamycin, etc. Adequate intestinal preparation can reduce intraoperative contamination, reduce infection, and facilitate healing.

At present, some hospitals at home and abroad have adopted the method of whole intestinal lavage for intestinal preparation. The method is to drip or take a special lavage solution (containing a certain concentration of electrolytes and intestinal disinfectants to maintain a certain osmotic pressure) through a stomach tube, with a dosage of 4 to 8 liters, and squat on a defecation device. The purpose of intestinal cleaning and disinfection can be achieved while treating colon cancer.
