Although its incidence is said to be less than that of post-upper abdominal surgeries, its onset may cause a significant delay in postoperative progress and prolong hospitalization, and could also potentially delay the initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy. In this review, we present a systematic overview of the etiological mechanisms, diagnostic modalities, possible prevention, and a comprehensive Therapeutic approach for PGS in the context of colon cancer, putting a special emphasis on the possible detrimental impact of lymphadenectomy on the perigastric neural innervation and vascular supply in right-sided colon cancer procedures. We endeavor to provide practical references for the early clinical recognition and the standardized management of this challenging complication.Gastroparesis syndrome, Colon cancer, Integrated therapeutic strategy, Postoperative complications
