Review
This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
Despite the increasing use of MIS, POI remains a major issue following colorectal surgery. Further strategies to prevent POI are rapidly emerging. Studies using standardised definitions and perioperative care will help validate these interventions and remove barriers to accurate meta-analysis. Future studies should focus on establishing the impact of these interventions on POI after MIS specifically.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Clinicians must anticipate ileus after minimally invasive colorectal surgery; leaves open validation of prevention strategies pending standardized definitions and trials.
