PPOI = prolonged postoperative ileus; non-PPOI = patients without PPOI. Data are n (%), mean (SD). BMI = body mass index; ASA = American Society of Anesthesiologists classification; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; # in non-PPOI, in PPOI group; in non-PPOI group, in PPOI group; in PPOI group.
