Background The most prevalent cancer in society is colorectal cancer (CRC). Studies aiming to lower surgical morbidity and mortality have found a significant contribution from preoperative bowel preparation. Models for bowel preparation included mechanical cleaning, the use of antibiotics, and control groups. We compared preoperative bowel preparation for elective colorectal cancer and evaluated its effects in this study. Material and Methods Preoperative bowel preparation model was used to prospectively split 144 patients (n=144) with colorectal cancer into four groups. Patients in the first group (Group I) underwent mechanical bowel preparation (MBP), followed by oral antibiotic therapy (OAB) and MBP in the second group (Group II), intravenous antibiotic therapy (IVAB), MBP, and OAB in the third group (Group III), and no bowel preparation in the fourth group (Group IV). Demographic information, anastomotic leakage, surgical site infection, intraabdominal abscess, postoperative ileus, and death were compared between patients. Results Groups I, II, III, and IV of the study each had 35 patients, 38 patients, 35 patients, and 36 patients, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the four groups when the groups were evaluated by age, gender, and ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) score (p> 0.05). There were significant differences between surgical site infection (SSI), intraabdominal abscess, and anastomosis leaking (p0.05). Mortality and postoperative ileus did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). Conclusion We consider that the bowel preparation approach of mechanical colon cleansing and antibiotic administration is appropriate for patients who have had surgery owing to elective CRC.
