For bowel preparation, effective, well-tolerated and safe methods should be applied. Recently, oral sulfate solution was adopted to Korea. Still, in Korea, there was no data of direct comparison of 2L polyethylene glycol with ascorbic acid (PEG-Asc) and oral sulfate solution (OSS) in split method for bowel preparation.
