Summary
It is 2021 and conferences around the world still debate the pros and cons of mechanical bowel prep (MBP). It is baffling how a safe intervention used millions of times every day for screening colonoscopies is a subject of fierce discussions amongst colleagues, in book chapters, and lectures when applied to patients undergoing colorectal resection. Although we believe that for patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery there are other quintessential questions to debate about, we understand that the debate over this issue is far from resolved and expert majority opinion has vacillated over the past decade. With all this in mind, as a disclaimer the authors are allowed to change their minds.
