Discussion

Cohort study linked postoperative ileus to increased hospitalization and healthcare costs in colorectal cancer, suggesting potential interventions.

Postoperative ileus occurred in 15.6% of colorectal cancer resections, delaying discharge and increasing costs.
Patients with ileus had significantly longer hospital stays, averaging 14 days compared to 7 days for non-ileus cases.
Cohort study conducted from January 2007 to January 2025, assessing effects of postoperative ileus in colorectal resections.
The findings call for strategies to mitigate postoperative ileus through potential use of motility-enhancing drugs.

Gok et al. (2025) studied this question.
