Evaluating a scoring system for postoperative ileus in digestive surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on postoperative ileus, a common complication following colorectal surgery characterized by a temporary cessation of bowel function. The primary aim is to evaluate the IFEED score, a clinical tool proposed to define and assess postoperative ileus, and to compare its effectiveness with the length of hospital stay. By analyzing a cohort of patients undergoing digestive tract surgeries, the study seeks to establish a reproducible definition of ileus and improve patient management. The research is being conducted at a single center, the University Hospital in Toulouse.
