AB  - Background and study aims  The success of colonoscopy is mainly dependent on the 
      effectiveness of prior bowel preparation (BP). Patients often consider BP to be 
      the most burdensome part of colonoscopy, which might be a main barrier to the 
      procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and effectiveness of 
      colonic irrigation with a new colon hydrotherapy (CHT) device as an alternative 
      to traditional oral BP. Patients and methods  A prospective, non-randomized 
      observational study was conducted to evaluate the quality of BP. A BP was 
      considered effective if a score of 6 or better through the Boston Bowel 
      Preparation Scale (BBPS) could be reached. Colonoscopy was performed immediately 
      following colonic irrigation. For safety analysis, data on adverse events (AEs) 
      were collected. Among the secondary outcomes, the BBPS assessed in each bowel 
      segment and cecal intubation rate were analyzed. Results  Twenty-eight 
      consecutive patients (11 male [39.3%] and 17 [60.7 %] female) undergoing 
      screening/surveillance or diagnostic colonoscopy were enrolled. Mean age was 
      54 +/- 12.4 years (range 19-80). The evaluated mean BBPS was 7.8 +/- 1.5. Twenty-five 
      patients (89.3 %) had a BBPS score of 6 or above. Colonic irrigation was 
      performed without any complications and no AEs were reported within 30 days. The 
      cecal intubation rate was 100 %. Conclusions  Colonic irrigation with a new CHT 
      device is an effective and low-risk alternative to traditional oral preparation 
      prior to colonoscopy.
