Abstract
In obstetric and gynecological practice, after operations on the abdominal cavity, the development of dynamic intestinal obstruction, which is referred to as postoperative ileus, is possible. The frequency of POI after gynecological surgery averages 10–15% (range 5–25%). Chewing gum has been used in abdominal surgery and obstetric and gynecological practice to reduce postoperative intestinal obstruction since the beginning of the 21st century. The present review considers the main randomized clinical trials, reviews and meta-analyses devoted to the study of the effect of chewing gum after surgical interventions in obstetric and gynecological practice for the prevention of postoperative ileus. The data presented in the review indicate the effectiveness and safety of the use of chewing gum in the postoperative period for the prevention of postoperative ileus in obstetric and gynecological practice.
