A Double-Blinded Randomized Clinical Study on the Therapeutic Effect of Gastrografin(A (R)) in Prolonged Postoperative Ileus After Elective Colorectal Surgery

摘要

Postoperative ileus is a common problem with significant clinical and economic consequences. We hypothesized that Gastrografin(A (R)) may have therapeutic utility by accelerating the recovery of postoperative ileus after colorectal surgery. The aim of this trial was to study the impact of oral Gastrografin(A (R)) administration on postoperative prolonged ileus (PPI) after elective colorectal surgery.
