Abstract: Preoperative mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) has been established as a standard procedure for elective colorectal surgery in most surgical centers since 1950s. However, the routine use of MBP for elective colorectal surgery is still in debate , as the researches on the evaluation of MBP have been carried out in recent 20 years. By searching and analyzing the existing evidence , we conclude that MBP should be routinely abandoned for elective open colorectal surgery, but should be routinely used for elective laparoscopic rectal surgery , and it still awaits large-scale RCTs for further evaluation of MBP for elective laparoscopic colonic surgery.
