Overview

Ileus is most commonly seen in patients undergoing surgical treatment. The incidence and prevalence of ileus varies with the type of surgery performed. Patients with large incisions are at a relatively higher risk of developing ileus as compared to patients undergoing minor surgical procedures with small incisions. The incidence of ileus in patients undergoing laparotomy is approximately 9,000 per 100,000 cases worldwide, which is more common compared to other surgeries. The prevalence of ileus is not precisely known. However, it is estimated that that around 10 percent (10,000 per 100,000) of the people undergoing surgical procedures develop ileus that lasts longer than three days. Postoperative ileus has been present in 15% of patients who had partial bowel resection, based on one study. Patients of all age groups may develop ileus but it is more commonly seen in the elderly due to underlying comorbidities. There is no racial predisposition for ileus and both men and women are affected equally.
