Blockage of the intestine (especially the ileum) that prevents the contents of the intestine from passing to the lower bowel.
Human disease characterized by impairment of intestinal peristalsis; in modern language usually excludes mechanical bowel obstruction.
1Furthermore, means of prevention and therapeutic strategies for postoperative ileus are briefly presented.
2Twenty-eight days after transplantation, the patient developed mild abdominal pain and paralytic ileus.
3Minor complications included postoperative paralytic ileus, urinary tract infections, and surgical site infections.
4Methods: Postoperative ileus was induced by manipulation of the small intestine in rats.
5An old age and preoperative ileus were associated with a risk of postoperative complications.
6No preoperative mortality occurred, and morbidity was limited to prolonged ileus in one patient.
7Complications include perforations, abscess and fistula formation or mechanical ileus.
8Background and aims: Postoperative ileus is a common and poorly understood problem of abdominal surgery.
9Postoperative ileus (POI) develops after abdominal surgery irrespective of the site of surgery.
10Paralytic ileus is a temporary arrest of intestinal peristalsis.
11There were two minor postoperative complications (acute renal insufficiency and ileus).
12Clinically, lipid-rich enteral nutrition may be a new therapeutic option in the treatment of postoperative ileus.
13The ileus vanished; the swelling was carried off.
14Only two patients were considered to have IBF when gallstone ileus was observed during the investigations.
15The condition is formally known as postoperative ileus.
16Endoscopic decompression of the distended colon has become a useful method of treating non-obstructive colonic ileus.
