Introduction: Postoperative ileus is a severe condition occurring especially in high-risk patients following acute and prolonged surgical procedures. Multiple factors are described as important in etiology, such as inflammation as well as neurological, hormonal and pharmacological influences. In prevention and treatment, we try to apply non-pharmaceutical procedures, to influence reversible etiological factors and, in post-operative period, to implement and use ERAS procedures.

Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction, including temporary nonmechanical suppression of gastrointestinal motility (known as postoperative ileus), occurs in about 10% surgeries of abdominal tumors. Since these complications can prolong hospitalization and affect eating, it is important to understand their risk factors and identify effective interventions to manage or prevent them. The present review comprehensively examined the relevant literature to describe risk factors for postoperative ileus and effective interventions.

Background: Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication following abdominal surgery, often leading to extended hospital stays and a higher risk of post-operative complications, leading to poorer patient outcomes. Alvimopan, a peripherally acting µ-opioid receptor antagonist, has been shown to aid in the recovery of normal bowel function after surgery. While its benefits are well-established in open abdominal surgeries, its efficacy in laparoscopic procedures had not been conclusively determined.
