ABSTRACT

Prolonged postoperative ileus(PPOI), as a common surgical complication, has attracted more and more attention of domestic scholars in recent years. PPOI is often manifested as intolerance of oral feeding, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal distention, delayed exhaust and defecation, and prolonged hospital stay and increased medical expenditure. At present, the pathogenesis of PPOI has not been determined, but it is certain that the disease is mediated by a variety of mechanisms. In clinical work, PPOI still have no general diagnostic criteria, treatment methods and prevention strategies. The theory and practice of accelerated rehabilitation surgery may bring new ideas for the prevention and treatment of PPOI. This paper reviews the research status and prevention strategies of PPOI.
