Introduction
The incidence of colorectal diseases in
children has risen in recent years. With the
increasing use of endoscopy in clinical settings,
enteroscopy is increasingly recognized for its
role in diagnosing and treating intestinal
diseases in pediatric patients. The importance
of bowel preparation before enteroscopy cannot
be overstated, and it must be tailored to the
patient's age, size, and clinical condition
(Trautwein, Vinitski, and Peck, 2017). For
pediatric bowel preparation, however, there is
no widely acknowledged gold standard regimen.
Several regimens have been tested with varied
degrees of success in order to find the safest,
most effective, and comfortable combination
