Question

What is the clinical effectiveness of mechanical bowel preparation combined with oral neomycin as part of preparation for elective colorectal surgery?
What is the clinical effectiveness of mechanical bowel preparation combined with oral ciprofloxacin as part of preparation for elective colorectal surgery?
What is the cost-effectiveness of mechanical bowel preparation combined with oral neomycin as part of preparation for elective colorectal surgery?
What is the cost-effectiveness of mechanical bowel preparation combined with oral ciprofloxacin as part of preparation for elective colorectal surgery?
What are the evidence-based guidelines informing the use of mechanical bowel preparation combined with oral neomycin or oral ciprofloxacin as part of preparation for elective colorectal surgery?

Key Message

Two non-randomized studies (one which included a cost effectiveness analysis) were identified regarding the clinical and cost-effectiveness of mechanical bowel preparation combined with oral neomycin as part of preparation for elective colorectal surgery. One evidence-based guideline was identified regarding the use of mechanical bowel preparation combined with oral neomycin as part of preparation for elective colorectal surgery.
