Pyridostigmine 60mg given orally twice daily after surgery reduced the duration of ileus by one day, measured by the GI-2 tool (P=0.015) in this study that included 130 patients, but did not affect the duration of hospital stay.

Comment: Apart from speeding return of bowel function, it is not clear what the benefit is overall.
