The castor oil-based regimen could reduce bowel preparation dose and improve CCE tolerability.īowel preparation regimen Castor oil Colon capsule endoscopy Colonoscopy Colorectal diseases Prospective study. No serious adverse events occurred during this study. Twelve patients (71%) rated CCE as more than "good", confirming the new regimen's tolerability. The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy rates for detection of diverticulum were 100% each. The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy rates for detecting colorectal polyps (size ≥ 6 mm) were 76.9%, 75.0%, and 76.4%, respectively. CCE detected colon polyps (14/17, 82%) and colonic diverticulum (4/12, 33%). Approximately 70% of patients had satisfactory colon cleansing levels. The mean large bowel transit time was 236 min. The capsule excretion rate within the battery life was 88% (15/17). Three patients cancelled CCE because they could tolerate castor oil, but not liquid laxatives. The castor oil-based regimen was implemented in 17 patients. The secondary outcomes were complications, colorectal lesion detection rates, and patients' tolerability. The primary outcome was the capsule excretion rate within the battery life, as evaluated by the total large bowel observation rate, large bowel transit time, and bowel creasing level using a five-grade scale in different colorectal segments. The exclusion criteria were as follows: Dysphagia, history of allergic reactions to the drugs used in this study (magnesium citrate, polyethylene glycol, metoclopramide, and castor oil), possibility of pregnancy, possibility of bowel obstruction or stenosis based on symptoms, or scheduled magnetic resonance imaging within 2 wk after CCE. All patients underwent CCE because of the following inclusion criteria: previous incomplete colonoscopy in other facility ( n = 20), history of abdominal surgery ( n = 7), or organ abnormalities such as multiple diverticulum ( n = 4) and adhesion after surgery ( n = 6). This prospective cohort study including 20 patients (age range, 16-80 years six men and 14 women) suspected of having colorectal disease was conducted at Kindai University Hospital from September 2017 to August 2019. To assess the safety and utility of castor oil-boosted bowel preparation. Preparation for colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) requires a large liquid laxative volume for capsule excretion, which compromises the procedure's tolerability.
