BACKGROUND: Prolonged postoperative ileus is a common major complication after abdominal surgery. Retrospective data suggest that ileus doubles the cost of inpatient stay. However, current economic impact data are based on retrospective studies that rely

Pathophysiology of Postoperative Ileus
Archives of Surgery, 1977In eight dogs, cellotomy, rubbing the small bowel, and exposing it to air suppressed the migrating bursts of action potentials and contractions that occur in the gastrointestinal tract during fasting and greatly slowed (one to three days) the gastrointestinal transit of 7-mm plastic spheres. The operation also caused a transient one-day increase in the

Mechanisms of postoperative ileus
Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2004AbstractPostoperative ileus is an iatrogenic condition that follows abdominal surgery. Three main mechanisms are involved in its causation, namely neurogenic, inflammatory and pharmacological mechanisms. In the acute postoperative phase, mainly spinal and supraspinal adrenergic and non‐adrenergic pathways are activated.

Dihydroergotamine in postoperative ileus
Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 1983The effects of dihydroergotamine (DHE) on postoperative ileus after major abdominal surgery were studied. Forty-one patients received 0.5 mg DHE subcutaneously twice a day from the day of surgery to the seventh postoperative day. Thirty-three patients served as controls.

The pathogenesis of postoperative ileus (PI) is multifactorial, and includes activation of inhibitory reflexes, inflammatory mediators and opioids (endogenous and exogenous). Accordingly, various strategies have been employed to prevent PI. As single-modality treatment, continuous postoperative epidural analgesia including local anaesthetics has been ...

Postoperative Mechanical Ileus
1991Postoperative GI obstruction is the third most common postoperative complication, after peritonitis and bleeding, leading to laparotomy. The mortality has declined in the last decade from around 20%-35% to 10%-20%. This is probably caused by better intra-operative surgical techniques and better understanding of the pathophysiology of gastrointestinal ...

Management of Postoperative Ileus
American Journal of Therapeutics, 2007Postoperative ileus is an abnormal pattern of gastrointestinal motility that is common after both abdominal and nonabdominal surgeries. There are many causes of ileus, including postoperative pain and the use of narcotics for analgesia, electrolyte imbalances, and manipulation of the bowel during surgery.
