This is a prospective randomized study to evaluate the difference in the rate of surgical site infection between the patients who used Sodium Picosulfate solution(PicosolutionⓇ) and tablet Oral Sulphate Solution(ORA·FANGⓇ) for bowel preparation before colorectal cancer surgery .
It has been reported that tablet oral sulphate solution(ORA·FANGⓇ) showed a successful bowel cleansing rate of 95.5%, which is similar to compared to sodium picosulfate solution(PicosolutionⓇ). In terms of the rate of surgical site infection(SSI), sodium picosulfate solution(PicosolutionⓇ) showed 8% of SSI rate. However there is no report for the SSI rate of tablet oral sulphate solution(ORA·FANGⓇ). We aimed to compare the SSI rates between these two group.

RECRUITINGThe rate of surgical site infection
The operator will evaluate the rate of the surgical site infection during the postoperative hospitalization period or the first outpatient visit after surgery. We will use the definition of surgical site infection published in 1999 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Time frame: 30 days
The quality of the bowel preparation
The operator will evaluate he quality of the bowel preparation using Arohchick bowel preparation scale during the surgery. Aronchick scale Excellent:5, good:4, fair:3, poor:2, inadequate:1
Time frame: during surgery
The patient's tolerability for bowel preparation
Using questionnaire, the tolerance will be scored after bowel preparation Tolerability score Very comfortable: 5 Comfortable: 4 Fair: 3 Uncomfortable: 2 Very uncomfortable: 1
Time frame: 1 day after bowel preparation
