In this cohort study, IL patients more frequently achieved oral diet advancement during the immediate postoperative period than those treated conservatively. However, these groups differed in baseline clinical characteristics that were associated with treatment selection; therefore, the observed differences in outcomes cannot be attributed to treatment choice alone.
