SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Postoperatively while patient is in hospital (estimated to be 4 days)

Defined by bilious emesis requiring a change in diet to nothing-per-mouth (NPO) status or nasogastric tube placement (NGT) in the absence of other indications. Patients who had NGT placed prophylactically at the time of surgery were not considered to have an ileus unless an NGT was reinserted or they met the above criteria. Participants will be assigned a value of yes ileus or no ileus. The rate of post op ileus is defined as the observed number of yes ileus in each study arm divided by the total number of subjects in the study arm.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Preoperative, each post-operative day while inpatient, 2 week follow-up, and 6 week follow-up

Population: The number analyzed at the different time points may be different than the overall number analyzed due to participant not being hospitalized at the time point or the pain score not being completed at the time point.

Pain scores will be determined by the 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS). 0=no pain and 10=the most pain. A higher score indicates more pain.
