NCT04205058

Brief Summary

Postoperative ileus is a common complication after major abdominal surgery. A positive effect of coffee to bowel movement has been described after colorectal and gynecologic interventions. The objective of this randomised controlled trial is to investigate whether the implementation of a fast track protocol with early coffee consumption accelerates the recovery of bowel function after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
