Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To assess the efficiency of chewing gum in reducing the duration of POI. POI is defined by the criteria of Vather from the postoperative day 1 up to day 30
The duration of POI is the time between the first day of meeting the criteria of Vather to the day of recovery of tolerance of solid food and of exoneration of stool and/or flatus (GI-3 recovery). Patients will be asked to report in their diary the day of tolerance of solid food and of exoneration of stool and/or flatus (GI-3 recovery) after the diagnosis of POI

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Postoperative ileus (POI) is a serious complication after surgery. While it complicates all type of surgery, it is more frequent after abdominal surgery (especially bowel or colorectal surgery). Many studies aim to reduce the occurence of POI without efficiency. The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency of the vagal stimulation, by the mean of chewing, to reduce the duration of POI.
