Bowel function shuts down after surgery; a quick return can speed along transition from hospital to home.
Bowel function temporarily shuts down after major surgery. The return of bowel function often occurs within two to five days and signals readiness for the transition from the hospital to home or another care facility.
Speeding the return of bowel function reduces time in the hospital and helps you return to normal processing of food, which is vital to recovery.
A recent study found that drinking coffee postoperatively may be an effective way to speed things along — at least in those who have had all or part of their colon removed (colectomy).
Mayo Clinic doctors say that this study adds to other research that has found the same effect with coffee drinking after major surgery.
