NCT00687570CI-TRIAL-00016907completedN/AClinicalTrials.gov clinicaltrialsPublishedExplore in graph →

Summary

Brief summary (as posted)

Traditionally bowel preparation before surgery of rectal cancer could be troublesome for patients especially for patients with kidney and cardio- vascular diseases, where salt and electrolyte balance can be a problem. Cleaning the bowel without complications for the patient is one of the aims for this study. The other aim is to see if patient nutritional status improves with nutritional drinks as a complement to food intake 4-6 weeks before surgery.
