Condition: Post-Op Complication · Sponsor: Future University in Egypt
Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication after abdominal surgery, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and delayed passage of flatus and stool. Management remains challenging, with limited pharmacological options available. Prucalopride, a selective serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonist, has shown promise in accelerating gastrointestinal recovery after surgery. However, the optimal timing and dosing for preventing POI remains unclear. Higher doses may provide more potent prokinetic effects in the postoperative setting. his study investigates if higher doses of prucalopride (4 mg) improve bowel function return and hospital stay in elective colorectal surgery patients compared to standard doses and placebo.
