Overview

Postoperative ileus is relatively frequent postoperative complication after major abdominal operations, extending the patient’s hospital stay and thus the cost of hospitalization. Multimodal fast-tract-access surgery is increasingly being implemented into clinical practice allows for an early resumption of intestinal activity and shortening hospital stays after uncomplicated major gastrointestinal operations.

Key words:
postoperative ileus – bowel preparation – early oral intake – epidural analgesia – fast-tract surgery
