Influence of perioperative nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on complications after gastrointestinal surgery: A meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: The meta-analysis suggests that postoperative NSAIDs, especially nonselective NSAIDs, could increase the incidence of anastomotic leak. NSAIDs could decrease postoperative nausea and vomiting and intestinal obstruction, but showed no difference in cardiovascular events and surgical site infection as compared with other analgesics.
