Acute Small Intestine Obstruction Clinical Trial
Official title:
Nasogastric Tube After Small Bowel Obstruction Surgery is Not Mandatory: a Retrospective Cohort Study
Postoperative management after small bowel obstruction (SBO) surgery is not consensual and
better knowledge of risk factors for postoperative morbidity could help to add evidence of
the feasibility of enhanced recovery programs (ERPs).
In elective surgery, ERPs have shown a significant benefit for the patient but this is not
performed routinely in emergency surgery due to the difficulty to avoid postoperative
nasogastric tube.
The aim was to identify risk factors for postoperative morbidity and for nasogastric tube
(NGT) replacement after SBO surgery.
