Key result
Immediate postoperative feeding and bowel stimulation resulted in a postoperative ileus incidence of <1% (6 of 707 patients) following major gynecologic surgery.

Does immediate postoperative feeding and bowel stimulation prevent ileus in patients undergoing major gynecologic surgical procedures?
Immediate postoperative feeding and bowel stimulation appears safe and is associated with a very low incidence of ileus after major gynecologic surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports early feeding protocols after gynecologic surgery; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
