Abstract:
With the development and popularization of endoscopic techniques,the application of pediatric colonoscopy has increased rapidly.Numerous studies have evaluated efficacy and safety of different bowel preparation regimens,however there is a lack of standard protocols of bowel preparation for pediatric colonoscopy.Bowel-cleansing agents,which can be divided into osmotic and stimulant laxatives according to mechanism of action,play an important role in bowel preparation.Efficacy,tolerability,compliance and safety are important factors for evaluation of bowel-cleansing agents.Selection of bowel-cleansing agents in clinical practice should take into account patients' underlying disease and characteristics of medications.This review is mainly focused on bowel preparation for pediatric colonoscopy based on the common bowel cleansing agents and their efficiency evaluation.
