The specific intestinal preparation includes oral intestinal antibacterial drugs, control diet, clean intestine, oral vitamin K, as follows: 1. Oral intestinal antibacterial drugs: oral intestinal antibacterial drugs instead of systemic application of 2.Control diet: generally change to liquid diet 2-3 days before surgery, and start fasting one day before surgery. 3.Clean intestine: for patients with intestinal cancer combined with intestinal obstruction, oral laxatives should be taken to discharge stool before surgery to achieve the effect of clean intestine. 4. Oral vitamin K: Since intestinal antibacterial drugs cause intestinal vitamin K malabsorption, therefore, while taking antibacterial agents, oral vitamin K should be taken to prevent vitamin K deficiency, which leads to coagulation disorder and induces bleeding.
