ABSTRACT
The incidence of postoperative ileus (POI) after colonic and abdominal surgery is high. On the other hand, the reported incidence after lower extremity reconstruction ranges from 0.3% to 4.0%. This paper reports an 81-year-old woman who expired due to POI at six days after primary total knee arthroplasty. The risk factors, diagnosis, preventive methods, and treatment of POI were also investigated through literature reviews.
