“…A recently published metaanalysis shows, convincingly, that bowel preparation reduces neither anastomotic leaks nor other complications [62]. Instead, there is accumulating experimental and clinical evidence that bowel preparation is harmful, and that reduced morbidity and considerable cost-savings can be expected from its omission [63,64,65].…”

“…Nessim [197] vergleicht in einer randomisierten Studie flüssige Kost in Verbindung mit Motilitätshemmern (Loperamid) mit normaler Kost nach verschiedenen rekonstruktiven Analeingriffen. Bei gleichen klinischen und funktionellen Ergebnissen nach 13 Monaten verweist er auf die höheren Kosten für die Spezialkost.…”
