Maybe we should add a note from amboss about how these definitions are not always clearly agreed upon

@mitchelnelson Do you mean something like:
Note: exact time cutoffs for “prolonged” ileus and obstruction workup vary somewhat by source; treat 5–7 days as a clinically useful trigger point rather than a fixed rule
How about “Definitions of postoperative ileus and prolonged postoperative ileus are not standardized and may vary by source”
