    Abstract Background: Following abdominal surgery, postoperative ileus is a common complication significantly increasing patient morbidity and cost of hospital admission. This is the first systematic review aimed at determining the average global hospital cost per patient associated with postoperative ileus.
    Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases was performed from January 2000 to March 2023. Studies included compared patients undergoing abdominal surgery who developed postoperative ileus to those who did not, focusing on costing data. The primary outcome was the total cost of inpatient stay. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa assessment tool. Summary meta-analysis was performed.
    Results: Of the 2071 studies identified, 88 papers were assessed for full eligibility. The systematic review included nine studies (2005-2022), investigating 1 860 889 patients undergoing general, colorectal, gynaecological and urological surgery. These studies showed significant variations in the definition of postoperative ileus. Six studies were eligible for meta-analysis showing an increase of €8233 (95 per cent c.i. (5176 to 11 290), P < 0.0001, I2 = 95.5 per cent) per patient with postoperative ileus resulting in a 66.3 per cent increase in total hospital costs (95 per cent c.i. (34.8 to 97.9), P < 0.0001, I2 = 98.4 per cent). However, there was significant bias between studies. Five colorectal-surgery-specific studies showed an increase of €7242 (95 per cent c.i. (4502 to 9983), P < 0.0001, I2 = 86.0 per cent) per patient with postoperative ileus resulting in a 57.3 per cent increase in total hospital costs (95 per cent c.i. (36.3 to 78.3), P < 0.0001, I2 = 85.7 per cent).
    Conclusion: The global financial burden of postoperative ileus following abdominal surgery is significant. While further multicentre data using a uniform postoperative ileus definition would be useful, reducing the incidence and impact of postoperative ileus are a priority to mitigate healthcare-related costs, and improve patient outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: Postoperative ileus (POI) is a significant complication following abdominal surgery, increasing morbidity and mortality. The cholinergic anti-inflammatory response is one of the major pathways involved in developing POI, but current recommendations to prevent POI do not target this. This review aims to summarise evidence for the use of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, neostigmine and pyridostigmine, to reduce the time to return of gastrointestinal function (GI) following abdominal surgery.
    Methods: A systematic search of various databases was performed from 1946 to May 2023. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in intra-abdominal surgery were included. Data on time to flatus and/or stool and side effects were extracted.
    Results: Among 776 screened manuscripts, 8 RCTs (703 patients) investigating acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in intra-abdominal surgery were analysed. Five studies showed a significant reduction in time to flatus and/or stool by 17-47.6 h. Methodological variations, differing procedure types, and potential bias were observed. Limited studies reported side effects or length of stay.
    Conclusion: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors may reduce the time for GI to return. However, current evidence is limited and biased. Further studies incorporating acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in an enhanced recovery protocol are required to address this question, especially for patients undergoing colorectal surgery.

    Abstract For decades, isolated limb infusion (ILI) and hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion (HILP) have been used to treat melanoma in-transit metastases and unresectable sarcoma confined to the limb utilizing the effect of loco-regional high-dose chemotherapy to the isolated limb. Both procedures are able to provide high response rates in patients with numerous or bulky lesions in whom other loco-regional treatments are becoming ineffective. In comparison to systemic therapies, on the other hand, ILI and HILP have the advantage of not being associated with systemic side-effects. Although in principle ILI and HILP are similar procedures, ILI is technically simpler to perform and differs from HILP in that it takes advantage of the hypoxic and acidotic environment that develops in the isolated limb, potentiating anti-tumour activity of the cytotoxic agents melphalan +/- actinomycin-D. Due to its simplicity, ILI can be used in both preclinical and clinical studies to test new cytotoxic regimens and combinations with the aim to overcome tumour resistance. In the future, administration of cytotoxic agents by ILI, in combination with systemic treatments such as BRAF/MEK/KIT inhibitors, immunotherapy (CTLA-4 blockade), and/or programmed death (PD-1) pathway inhibitors, has the potential to improve responses further by inducing increased tumour cell death while limiting the ability of the tumour to suppress the immune response.
