NCT03887845

Brief Summary

A prospective study to compare the postoperative ileus in open and laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery through the determination of the time the patient takes to pass flatus, pass stool, bowel movement, oral intake, the time of hospital stay and total hospital costs. Postoperative ileus (POI) is one of the major focus of concern for surgeons, hospital executives, quality assurance directors as well as patients because of its role in causing patient distress, discomfort, and morbidity, leading to an increase in the duration of hospital stay and cost of care.
