Brief Summary
Post-operative ileus is a temporary stoppage of bowel function following surgery. Indeed it can occur in 20% of cases during post-operative follow-up of bowel surgery. The absence of resumption of transit can lead to the implementation of specific treatments such as the placement of a nasogastric tube and drug treatments. To date, the definition of this event is not accepted by everyone and is not based on reproducible evaluation criteria. The main objective of this study is to evaluate a score used to date to define postoperative ileus, the IFEED score, and to compare it to the length of postoperative stay.
