Overview
Brief Summary
Colonoscopy is a frequently used method in colon cancer screening today. Routine bowel cleansing is performed for colonoscopy. When the guidelines are examined, there are various recommendations regarding colonoscopy preparation regimens and durations. In this study, participants using the same colon cleansing drug before colonoscopy will be compared in terms of colon cleansing of the patient group who had a clear diet in the last 24 hours before the procedure and the patient group who had a low fiber diet.
Detailed Description
Studies have reported that inadequate bowel preparation reduces the detection of polyps that may have the potential to become cancerous. Unfortunately, however, many participants are unable to comply with bowel cleansing regimens due to strict dietary changes and large amounts of unpleasant laxative solutions that affect their quality of life before the procedure. In addition, participants with insufficient bowel cleansing should repeat similar preparation steps before the next examination. The European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) recommends a polyethylene glycol (PEG) regimen for colonoscopy preparation and low-fiber food intake 24 hours prior to the procedure. In our country, PEG is not used routinely and frequently in terms of cost and lack of SGK payments. 'Sennoside A+B calcium', which is used for colonoscopy preparation in our country, shows its effect by increasing intestinal motility and causes the accumulation of water and electrolytes in the colon lumen. It has security and ease of application. In addition, the fact that it is paid by the Social Security Institution and the price is affordable makes it advantageous in the preparation of colonoscopy. Although there is not enough data for colonoscopy preparation in our country, each clinic determines the duration of the regimen in various ways. The aim of this study is to compare the patient group who used low fiber food for 24 hours before colonoscopy and who had a clear diet for 24 hours before colonoscopy in terms of adequate cleaning during endoscopy in participants who underwent bowel cleansing with 'Sennoside A+B calcium'.

Cleaning during colonoscopy
Time Frame: During the colonoscopy procedure
The quality of cleaning for each segment of the colon was rated ac- cording to the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) as follows: Score 0 (mucosa not visible due to solid stool, or thick liquid stool cannot be cleared); Score 1 (areas of the colon segment not seen well due to staining, resid- ual stool, and/or opaque liquid); Score 2 (minor amount of residual staining, small fragments of stool and/or opaque liquid, but mucosa seen well); and Score 3 (en- tire mucosa of the colon segment seen well). The left colon, transverse colon, and right colon segments were scored separately, and then these segment scores were summed for a total BBPS score ranging from 0 to 9. Categorical assessment for each possible total BBPS score: "excellent," 8-9; "good," 6-7; "fair," 5; "poor," 3-4; or "unsatisfactory," 0-2
