Postoperative Ileus Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect of Gum Chewing on Postoperative Ileus After Gynecologic Surgery.

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators are randomizing patients to receive chewing gum (Extra Sugar Free, Spearment) every 4 hours during waking hours for 15 minutes versus standard postoperative care. The investigators then have them fill out a survey in house and 1 week after their surgery that record time to first flatus, hunger, toleration of clear liquids and food and some information about pain, satisfaction, and quality of life. The investigators contact them via phone and email a maximum of three times in order to collect this information. 30 days postoperatively the investigators also contact them and perform a chart review for any postoperative complications.
