    Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the use of chewing gum in reducing paralytic ileus in patients after abdominal surgery. Materials and Methods: The systematic review of the 11 scientific articles found in the following databases: Epystemonikos, Pubmed, Medline, Ebsco. They allowed us to find 11 scientific evidence. The search has been restricted to articles with full text and the selected articles were subjected to critical reading, using the Grade System evaluation to identify their level of evidence. Within the 11 evidence, the type of research is 64% (n=7/11) systematic review and 36% (n=4/11) are meta-analysis. Results: In the final selection, 11 articles were chosen, the parameters being the flatulence time, the time of passage of bowel movements and length of hospital stay. In which we found that 81.9% (9/11) of the evidence is effective in reducing paralytic ileus in patients after abdominal surgery. 18.1% (2/11) show to be discordant because they did not have a significant effect on hospital stay in post-operated patients. Conclusions: 9 of the 11 articles reviewed showed that chewing gum is effective in reducing paralytic ileus in post-abdominal surgery patients.
