Core Tip

Core Tip: Same-day single-dose polyethylene glycol-based regimens for bowel preparation seemed to be equal or better than large-volume (≥ 3 L) split-dose polyethylene glycol solution in terms of bowel cleanliness and tolerability as long as the optimal preparation-to-colonoscopy interval and diet instruction for bowel preparation were respected.
