Core Tip	At present there is no evidence that bowel preparation makes a difference to clinical outcomes in either colonic or rectal surgery, in terms of anastomotic leak rates, surgical site infection, intra-abdominal collection, mortality, reoperation or hospital length of stay. Given its potential adverse effects and patient dissatisfaction rates, it should not be administered routinely to patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery.
