What would be the cause of intestinal postoperative non-absorption? what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ileus : Postoperatively the bowels will go lazy and slow. That minimizes the speed and the absorption, but this could be temporarily. Eventually the bowels will regain its absorption and activities. The status of the bowel postoperative let is called ileus.
