Postoperative paralytic ileus as an indication for enterostomy

Every practicing surgeon has experienced many difficult minutes dealing with a formidable complication in the postoperative period - paralytic ileus. How many worries, incipient doubts are caused by prolonged nausea, vomiting, flatulence, lack of gas and stool after surgery. The severity of the surgeon is also that intestinal paresis can occur after any operation and any method of anesthesia, in rank-and-file and technically armed surgeons. For example, Nazarov observed paralytic ileus after operations with impinged hernia, appendectomies, ovariotomies; Bakushinsky - after gastroenterostomy, bowel resection, dissection of adhesions; Zhukov - after cholecystectomy, choledochotomy. Some types of operations, such as major gynecological and urinary tract operations, especially predispose to intestinal paresis (Broun, Zhukov).
