A safe, effective method of large-bowel preparation is outlined, the emphasis being on a standardized technique for the average patient. The rationale for the use of the technique is briefly described, and there is a further section on the preparation of the bowel in a patient with a colostomy. The importance of a residue-free fluid diet and adequate saline purgation is stressed.
