Low-Residue Diet Versus Rectal Enema Before Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometrial Cancer
Conditions: Endometrial Cancer
Sex: Female
Ages: 18 Years – 90 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 100
Sponsor: Mahmut Yassa
Location: Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital Istanbul
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a standardized 3-day bowel preparation protocol with a rectal enema before laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer. The study will evaluate whether the dietary bowel preparation protocol can be used instead of a rectal enema while maintaining an adequate surgical view during surgery.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Can the dietary bowel preparation protocol provide surgical exposure comparable to a rectal enema?
* Can the dietary bowel preparation protocol reduce the minimum Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum pressure required to obtain an adequate surgical view?
* Does either bowel preparation method cause more discomfort or side effects before surgery?
Researchers will compare a standardized 3-day bowel preparation protocol with a rectal enema before surgery.
Participants will:
* Be randomly assigned to receive either a standardized 3-day bowel preparation protocol or a rectal enema before surgery.
* Undergo standard laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer.
* Have surgical exposure, the minimum Trendelenburg position, the minimum pneumoperitoneum pressure, operative outcomes, postoperative recovery, and bowel preparation-related symptoms and discomfort assessed as part of routine clinical care.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Female participants aged 18 to 90 years.
* Scheduled to undergo elective laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer.
* Willing and able to provide written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
