Research Abstract

Ileus is a frequent complication following abdominal surgery that can cause a delay in recovery. Ileus onset is thought to be complex, and several prevention strategies have been researched. According to the study’s hypotheses, chewing gum promotes quicker recovery of gastrointestinal function, which reduces the risk of postoperative ileus.

Aim

To investigate the impact of chewing gum on hospital stay and bowel movement in individuals undergoing whipped surgery.
