“…In these three studies of patients following gastrointestinal or oncological surgery, coffee was given on the morning after surgery. There has been only one randomized controlled trial about the effects of coffee consumption on bowel function after cesarean section; in their study, Rabiepoor et al started coffee consumption at 8 hours postoperatively, which is different from the present study [19]. They reported mean times to first flatus of 17.28 hours in the coffee group and 22.54 hours in the control group.…”

“…In addition, early time to toleration of solid food is important after cesarean section to facilitate breastfeeding. Also, in the study by Rabiepoor et al, data regarding time to toleration of solid food as well as additional analgesic and antiemetic requirements were not mentioned [19]. There was also no information regarding patient mobilization.…”

“…It is also known that coffee accelerates bowel function after malignant gynecological surgery [18]. However, a methodical survey of PubMed, OvidSP, Google Scholar, and Scopus recognized just a single past examination of its impacts on gastrointestinal behaviour in patients after cesarean section [19]. Unfortunately, this study was not within Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Guidelines according to which early feeding is essential for patients undergoing surgery [20].…”

Objectives: To evaluate whether coffee consumption accelerates the recovery of bowel function after cesarean section or not. Material and methods: This study was designed as randomized controlled study. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Ultimately, Group 1 (n = 51) was the study group and drank three cups of coffee after cesarean, whereas group 2 (n = 52) was not given any treatment. The primary outcome measure was the time to first defecation after surgery, the secondary outcomes were time to first bowel movement, passage of flatus, time to toleration of a solid diet, additional antiemetic and analgesic requirement. Results: There were no significant differences in demographic variables between the groups. The mean time to passage of first flatus was significantly shorter in the study group than the control group (8.6 ± 3.3 h vs 11.3 ± 7.5 h, respectively; p = 0.022). First defecation was 20.7 ± 11.5 h for the study group and at 29.1 ± 14.3 h for the control group (p = 0.001). In addition, there was a significant difference in mean time to toleration of solid food between the study and control groups (8.78 ± 2.33 h vs 12.88 ± 4.2.60 h, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Coffee can be used in patients to enhance the recovery of gastrointestinal function after elective cesarean section.

“…After excluding three studies that were judged to have an unclear risk of selection bias 17 , 18 , 20 , the magnitude of favorable effects of postoperative coffee consumption in shortening the time to first defecation, time to first flatus, and time to first audible bowel sounds was substantially increased with a more precise estimate of their corresponding 95% CIs. The overall effects on the time to tolerance of solid food, postoperative nausea, and length of hospital stay, however, tended to be unchanged (Table 1 ).…”

Coffee is believed to prevent postoperative ileus. This systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of coffee consumption in stimulating gastrointestinal function after abdominal surgery. A number of databases for randomized controlled trials comparing coffee consumption following abdominal surgery versus water drinking or no intervention were searched. Cochrane’s Risk of Bias tool was used to assess risk of bias in included studies. Six trials involving 601 participants were included. All studies had high risk of performance bias. Three studies had an unclear risk of selection bias. Postoperative coffee consumption reduced time to first defecation (mean difference (MD), −9.98 hours; 95% CI, −16.97 to −2.99), time to first flatus (MD, −7.14 hours; 95% CI, −10.96 to −3.33), time to first bowel sound (MD, −4.17 hours; 95% CI, −7.88 to −0.47), time to tolerance of solid food (MD, −15.55 hours; 95% CI, −22.83 to −8.27), and length of hospital stay (MD, −0.74 days; 95% CI, −1.14 to −0.33). Benefits increased with increasing complexity of the procedure. None of the included studies reported adverse events associated with coffee consumption. Postoperative coffee consumption is effective and safe for enhancing the recovery of gastrointestinal function after abdominal surgery.
