Implication

Standardizes POGD protocols for colorectal surgery; extends consensus with actionable prevention and treatment pathways.

Key Points

  • Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction remains common following colorectal surgery, yet inconsistent diagnostic definitions hinder clinical practice and research efforts.
  • Consensus recommendations from an international expert panel critically review published evidence and evaluate prevention tactics across enhanced recovery pathways.
  • Supports standardized prevention and targeted treatment strategies to address the broad spectrum of impaired gastrointestinal function after elective bowel operations.
