Abstract
A new technique of on-table colonic lavage is described. This techniqu e has been used in those patients with inadequate bowel preparation at the time of elective or semi-elective surgery. The main difference in this technique compared with others previously described is that the lavage is performed after the resection and anastomosis of the colon i s completed. Experience of this technique with four patients is descri bed.
