In a study of 2368 patients undergoing minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery, prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI) occurred in 9.5% of cases. Six independent risk factors were identified for PPOI: advanced age, male sex, comorbidity index ≥6, preoperative sarcopenia, prognostic nutritional index, and intraoperative fluid overload. A nomogram was developed, achieving area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.887 and 0.838 for training and validation cohorts, respectively, aiding in personalized risk prediction and prevention strategies.
• Why it matters: Accurate risk prediction for prolonged ileus can enhance post-surgery care.
