Abstract
According to ESPGHAN, polyethylene glycol with electrolytes
(PEG) is generally the recommended laxative for bowel cleansing
prior to colonoscopy in children owing to cleansing quality and
safety [1]. Children with various gastrointestinal disorders such
as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) undergo colonoscopy
as the standard examination of the bowel as a diagnostic and
therapeutic tool. A colonoscopy can only be performed if the bowel
is clean, however it has been seen that bowel cleansing is the most
difficult part of the procedure prior to colonoscopy [2].
