Endoscopic examination of the colon is the standard method for the diagnosis of early colorectal cancer. Adequate bowel cleansing directly affect to the quality of endoscopy. In our country, there is a lack of comparative research on the quality and effectiveness of various bowel cleansing methods used in colorectal endoscopy, lack of standardized criteria for quality of bowel cleansing. Objective: To compare the improved method of colon cleansing with the experimental and control groups. Materials and Methods: The survey was designed double blinded clinical trials for three groups of control and experimental group in the endoscopy department of the Mongolian-Japanese hospital. Results: Compared to the three groups, the quality of colon cleansing was 47% (n= 8) good enough for the control group and 53% (n=9) insufÏcient. In Experimental Group 1, the 76% of cases (n=16) was sufÏcient, 23% (n=5) was insufÏcient, and in Experimental Group 2, the 96% of cases (n=24) was insufÏcient and 4% (n=1) was insufÏcient (p<0.001). Conclusions: Studies have shown that the quality of colon cleansing was better in group 2 than the other groups.
