Core Tip

Core Tip: This study evaluates the impact of enhanced vs conventional bowel preparation protocols on colonoscopic polypectomy outcomes, highlighting the superior efficacy of the enhanced approach. The findings reveal significant improvements in bowel preparation quality, one-time complete resection rates, operative efficiency, and patient satisfaction, alongside reduced complication rates and lower 6-month recurrence rates. These results underscore the clinical importance of adopting enhanced bowel preparation protocols to optimize surgical outcomes and enhance patient care in colonoscopic polypectomy.
