ABSTRACT:
According to the present system and technique, with the patient lying on his right side, a soap containing enema solution, preferably with a laxative therein, is introduced into the colon through the anal opening via a suitable tube held in the rectum by an inflated balloon (18), preferably from a bag (11) held above the patient, in a volume, usually sufficient to completely fill the colon all the way to the cecum, usually 1500 cc to 3000 cc in a normal adult. Inflation of the balloon can be accurately controlled by using a calibrated syringe (40), acting through a suitable valve containing conduit (21). The balloon and tube can be further secured in place with a limiting means (19) on the tube outside of the patient's anal opening and/or with specially made device (60) designed to squeeze the patient's buttocks together.
