Abstract：
:Fifty-six patients undergoing elective colonic resection were prospectively randomized into two groups either with or without postoperative nasogastric decompression. The results demonstrated only minimal differences between the two groups. Postoperative abdominal distention was more common in patients without nasogastric tubes, whereas pulmonary complications were more common in patients with nasogastric tubes. Other morbidity and mortality and hospital stay were the same in both groups. We conclude that in elective colon operations, the routine use of postoperative nasogastric decompression is unnecessary and can safely be omitted.
