Key Points

This research explores the relationship between visceral fat-to-muscle ratio and inflammatory ileus after intestinal surgery.
Analyzed patients with inflammatory ileus post-excision of intestinal fistula.
Focused on individuals with severe abdominal adhesions and sarcopenia.
Studied the correlation between visceral fat-to-muscle ratio and post-surgical outcomes.
Sarcopenia was significantly associated with increased risk of inflammatory ileus after surgery.
Findings suggest a higher visceral fat-to-muscle ratio correlates with adverse surgical outcomes.
Severe abdominal adhesions were prevalent in patients experiencing complications.

Observational findings show sarcopenia linked to inflammatory ileus in patients after intestinal fistula excision, suggesting surgical caution.

VFA/TAMAI was associated with inflammatory ileus after IFE with severe abdominal adhesions in patients with sarcopenia.
