Criteria of qualitative colonoscopy in patients after colorectal surgery (case reports)

AIM: to develop a unified algorithm of bowel cleansing for the colonoscopy, to distinguish the main criteria of qualitative colonoscopy and the rules of protocol in patients after colorectal surgery.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: we analyzed the available literature data and our own experience of endoscopic examination of patients with operated colon.
RESULTS: a unified algorithm of patient preparation for colonoscopy, examination rules and criteria for execution of the examination protocol for patients with different types of surgical interventions on the colon were developed.
CONCLUSION: it is necessary to raise awareness of surgeons and oncologists about the rules and peculiarities of preparation for colonoscopy in patients after colorectal surgery. It is necessary to use a unified methodology of endoscopic examination of such patients, and to use a single technique of endoscopic examination.
