SENARRIAGA RUIZ DE LA ILLA, N. et al. Is possible to predict postoperative ileus following radical cystectomy?. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2010, vol.34, n.7, pp.630-633. ISSN 0210-4806.

Objective: Radical cystectomy with urinary diversion is a procedure in which a reduction of morbidity, quick postoperative rehabilitation, limited length of stay and cost containment are difficult to achieve. Postoperative ileus has been identified as the most common cause of delayed recovery and prolonged length of stay. With our review, we try to establish the main causes. Material and methods: A total of 154 patients underwent radical cystectomy from 1990 to 2008. We examined demographic and perioperative variables of the patients who did and did not develop ileus. Results: No significant association was found between ileus and all the factors we studied. Conclusions: Postoperative ileus stands out as one of the most frecuent complications that causes increased length of stay. More detailed studies are required to determine perioperative regimens to reduce this complication.
