Abstract

BACKGROUND: Incomplete excretion rates are problematic for colon capsule endoscopy (CCE). Widely available booster regimens are suboptimal. Recently published data on one day preparation CCE protocol using castor oil appeared effective. AIM: To assess the impact of adding castor oil to a standard split-dose (2-d) preparation in an unselected Western patient cohort. METHODS: or chi-square tests as appropriate. RESULTS: 92% (114/124). CONCLUSION: In our capsule endoscopy centre, castor oil addition as a CCE booster significantly improved completion rates and polyp detection in an unselected Western cohort.
