No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The use of epidural analgesia (EA) has been suggested as an integral part of an enhanced recovery program for colorectal surgery. However, the effects of EA on postoperative ileus remain controversial. Some authors suggest that EA has beneficial effects for postoperative outcome and hospital stay, whereas others have reported that the role of EA in the modern perioperative care of patients undergoing open colorectal surgery has been limited. Therefore, the investigators aimed to investigate the effect of EA on postoperative outcome, particularly postoperative ileus and hospital stay in patients with colorectal surgery.
