What this Trial Is About
Informed consent will be obtained from patients or their legal representatives in cases where the patient is unconscious. Patient information, including names, ages, gender, smoking history, comorbidities, and the indication for emergency surgical procedures, will be documented. All surgical procedures will follow standard protocols and will be conducted by a single surgical team led by at least two consultants, each with more than five years of experience. All 60 patients will be randomly allocated into two groups using a random number table: Group A (early oral feeding), consisting of 30 patients, and Group B (standard oral feeding), consisting of 30 patients. In Group A, a liquid diet will be initiated within 24 hours after surgery and, if well-tolerated without vomiting, will transition to a regular diet over the subsequent 24 hours. On the other hand, in Group B, a standard diet (late feeding), including liquid filtrates, will only be introduced after the resolution of the ileus, during which these patients will remain NPO (nothing by mouth).
