abstract = {Background: The use of early oral feeding (EOF) to enhance the recovery of gastrointestinal (GI) motility after elective colorectal cancer surgery remains controversial. There was no updated meta-analysis to determine the efficacy and safety of this invention.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrance Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). Eleven RCTs (1,216 participants) were included in our meta-analysis.
Results: The EOF was associated with a shorter time of first flatus (MD =−0.58, 95% CI: −0.70 to −0.47, P},
