Abstract
Proper cleansing of the bowel is essential to ensure an adequate colonoscopic examination. The experience of 24 children and adolescents with Golytely, a new colonic lavage solution, is presented. Oral Golytely was found to be less inconvenient for patients, safe, and more cost-effective because it decreased hospitalization time.
