Coming soonPostoperative ileus is a transient impairment of gastrointestinal motility occurring after surgery, most frequently following abdominal or pelvic procedures, in the absence of mechanical bowel obstruction.
It predominantly affects the digestive tract and is driven by a multifactorial pathophysiology involving inhibitory neural reflexes from surgical manipulation, local macrophage-mediated intestinal inflammation, and pharmacologic inhibition from perioperative opioids and anesthetics.
Clinically, it is characterized by delayed return of coordinated peristalsis, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, inability to tolerate oral nutrition, and delayed passage of flatus and stool.
