Clinical Trial Summary

Postoperative ileus is a common after abdominal surgery. Multifactorial etiology such as surgical trauma, bowel manipulation and perioperative opioids contributes to delayed return of normal gut function Chewing gum has recently been used as a form of sham feeding to stimulate acceleration of gut function after abdominal surgery.

The investigators hypothesize that sham feeding with chewing gum will accelerate return of gut function after liver transplantation.
