Overview

Surgical intervention is not routinely recommended for the management of ileus. However, patients with prolonged ileus, radiologic or clinical findings indicating development of ileus complication, such as intestinal perforation, strangulation or necrosis and worsening of clinical or laboratory conditions of patients may require urgent surgical intervention to identify and alleviate complications of ileus.
