Data on patient demographics, surgical characteristics, perioperative medication use, and postoperative intestinal complications were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with postoperative intestinal complications. To minimize potential confounding, inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity scores was applied.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 453 patients were included in the final analysis, among whom 54 (11.9%) developed postoperative intestinal complications. These complications comprised postoperative ileus (36\u00a0pts, 7.9%), anastomotic leakage (17\u00a0pts, 3.8%), and chylous fistula (3\u00a0pts, 0.7%).
