Summary
This study tested whether sugammadex, a drug used to reverse muscle relaxants after surgery, could help patients regain bowel function faster than standard care. 184 adults undergoing open abdominal wall reconstruction for ventral hernia were randomly assigned to receive either sugammadex or the usual reversal drugs. The main goal was to see how quickly patients could eat solid food and have their first bowel movement after surgery.
