| Summary: | Postoperative ileus is a common condition that delays recovery after an abdominal surgery. The early use of sham feeding, with chewing gum, stimulates peristalsis; thus should allow an earlier nutrition. Searching in Epistemonikos database, which is maintained by screening 20 databases, we identified 14 systematic reviews including 24 randomized trials. We combined the evidence using meta-analysis and generated a summary of findings following the GRADE approach. We concluded that chewing gum probably reduces the length of hospital stay after an abdominal surgery. |
