“…[1][2][3][4] The etiology for this association between preparation and toxic megacolon is unknown, although electrolyte disturbances and the release of inflammatory mediators have been suggested as predisposing factors leading to inhibitory effects on colonic muscular tone. [32][33][34][35] An alternative explanation of this phenomenon is that the induction of increased disease activity is caused by the colonoscopy itself. This could be caused by direct trauma to the mucosa by biopsies or looping, increasing mucosal permeability to colonic bacteria.…”
