تطهير القولون

Understanding Bowel Preparation Before Colonoscopy
It is extremely important that your colon be thoroughly cleaned before your colonoscopy. This will let the doctor see any abnormalities, such as colon polyps, during the procedure. Polyps are small growths in the colon that could later turn into cancer. Cleansing the colon before a colonoscopy is called bowel preparation, or "prep." It involves taking medication that causes diarrhea, emptying the colon. The medication is taken by mouth, and comes in liquid or tablet form. You will also need to change what you eat during the day or two before the colonoscopy.

In short, "bowel preparation" is the process of emptying and cleaning the large intestine before medical tests like a colonoscopy to ensure a clear and unobstructed view for detecting potential issues like polyps, cancer, or bleeding.
I found it translated as (تحضير الأمعاء), but it looks literal and unnatural.

تحضير الأمعاء

This term refers in medicine to literally preparing the bowls for some procedure, such as surgery, coloscopy, or an imaging test. The process includes following certain steps before the procedure to clean the intestine from all fecal matter so that the field is clear for the one performing the procedure to see clearly without worrying about stool blocking their view. That way, the bowel is ready (prepared) for the procedure. I hope you find this helpful.
