A collaborative project by EAES, SAGES, and ESCP developed clinical practice recommendations for bowel preparation before minimally invasive colorectal surgery. After conducting a systematic review and network meta-analysis, a panel of experts suggested different approaches for various procedures. They recommend mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) with oral antibiotics for certain cases and offer conditional recommendations for others. These guidelines provide standardized and evidence-informed practices for bowel preparation, improving patient care in minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
