Enhanced Recovery Programs and Small Bowel Obstruction

Small bowel obstruction surgery is frequent and would benefit from enhanced recovery programs. While some studies advocate for their feasibility, it has never been proved and prospective studies are required to confirm the feasibility of such program and the impact on postoperative outcomes.

Treatment and study plan

Enhanced recovery program

Procedure

12 items of program (preoperative, peroperative postoperative) according to the enhanced recovery after surgery society

Primary outcomes

  1. occurence rate of postoperative ileus

    Time frame: within 30 postoperative days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Feasibility of the enhanced recovery program after small bowel obstruction surgery

    Time frame: within 30 postoperative days

    The feasibility of the enhanced recovery program will be assessed by using the ratio: number of items of the programs followed/ number of items in the programs

  2. Postoperative morbidity

    Time frame: within 30 postoperative days

  3. length of stay

    Time frame: the day of discharge assessed up to 30 days

  4. Rate of nasogastric tube replacement

    Time frame: within 30 postoperative days

  5. Rate of tolerance to solid food

    Time frame: within 30 postoperative days

  6. Time to GI function recovery

    Time frame: within 30 postoperative days

  7. acceptability toward the enhanced recovery program

    Time frame: the day of discharge up to 30 days

    The acceptability will be assessed through 2 qualitative questions and a 1-10 satisfaction scale
