Postoperative ileus is common after colorectal surgery, and has a huge impact on hospital LOS. With the impeding cost crisis in the United States, safely reducing length of stay is essential. Chewing gum and pharmacological treatment with alvimopan are safe, simple tools to reduce postoperative ileus and its associated costs. Future research will determine if integrating these tools with laparoscopic procedures and enhanced recovery pathways is a best practice in colorectal surgery.
结直肠手术后肠梗阻很常见,且对住院时间有巨大影响。鉴于美国日益严峻的成本危机,安全缩短住院时间至关重要。嚼口香糖和使用爱维莫潘进行药物治疗是安全、简便的减少术后肠梗阻及其相关成本的方法。未来的研究将确定将这些方法与腹腔镜手术及强化康复方案相结合是否为结直肠手术的最佳实践。
