Summary
Postoperative ileus is a perplexing problem for clinical surgeons. It occurs not only after
abdominal surgery but also after any surgery that requires general anesthesia. Postoperative
ileus is defined as the dysfunction of gastrointestinal motility after surgery, characterized
by a decrease in, or stagnation of, intestinal peristalsis.
