First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a newer drug, sugammadex, helps the bowels recover faster after colorectal surgery compared to an older drug combination (neostigmine/atropine). 560 adults having elective colorectal surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two drugs at the end of surgery. The main goal is to see if more patients in the sugammadex group regain normal bowel function within 72 hours.
