How do i best prepare for a right hemicolectomy? are pre-operative nutrition drinks and antibacterial showers recommended ?

Follow MD 's advice: Each surgeon had individual preference to prepare the bowel ,during preoperative time. Do not break the preparation protocol . Poorly prepared colon will result higher complication rate , like post OP infection etc. Speak to your surgeon.
