- Brief Summary
After major open abdominal surgery, transient paralytic ileus usually follows. It has been suggested that stimulation of pain fibers, excessive sympathetic tone, and the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters from bowel wall associated with bowel manipulation and peritoneal irritation are responsible mechanisms. There have been concerns that early postoperative oral feeding would lead to vomiting with subsequent aspiration pneumonia, anastomotic leakage, and wound dehiscence.
