AIM: to assess the effectiveness and safety of sodium picosulfate for screening colonoscopy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: the retrospective study included 299 patients at mean age of 54±14 years who had screening colonoscopy, . All patients received sodium pikosulfate for bowel cleansing. The quality of bowel cleansing was evaluated by the Boston international scale. Organoleptic and subjective sensations were also evaluated. RESULTS: the quality of bowel cleansing was 8.5±1.0 point by Boston scale. As a result of screening colonoscopy in 96 (32.1%) patients, polyps of the rectum, sigmoid, colon and ileum were detected in 11%, 8%, 11% and 2% of cases respectively. Pathology showed that 78 (26%) patients had adenomatous polyps, 13 (4%) – adenocarcinoma. All patients reported comfortable use of the agent.
