Implication

Meta-analysis finds selective use of nasogastric tubes improves bowel recovery and reduces complications in abdominal surgeries, suggesting a shift from routine use.

Key Points

Routine nasogastric tube use does not lead to improved outcomes after abdominal surgeries, often delaying recovery.
Patients without a nasogastric tube had significantly faster recovery of bowel function, with P more than 0.001 indicating strong evidence.
Meta-analysis included 21 studies with 3034 total patients, comparing routine vs selective nasogastric tube use.
Selective nasogastric tube use shows potential benefits while reducing risks like wound infections and hernias.
