Feasibility and Effectiveness of Colonic Irrigation as a Non-oral, Same-day Bowel Preparation Option in Patients Undergoing Screening or Surveillance Colonoscopy
This study will allow investigators to determine whether colonic irrigation may allow for a
non-oral, same-day alternative to traditional oral bowel prep regimens. This in turn could
lead to more persons able to undergo screening colonoscopy for colorectal cancer and thus
increased cancer prevention and early detection.

The primary endpoints for this study are:
- Overall quality of bowel cleansing for each of the three segments of the colon
(ascending, transverse, and descending) as measured by the Boston Bowel Preparation
Score (BBPS), a validated numerical scale for bowel cleanse (0-3 for each colon segment;
0-9 total score) (6).
- Patient satisfaction, as measured by a questionnaire administered by a study
investigator via follow-up phone call after completion of the colonic irrigation and
subsequent colonoscopy.
