Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of electroacupuncture(EA)in enhancing the recovery of gastrointestinal function after laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Methods:Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of EA treatment in the postoperative period of patients undergoing LC were searched.Studies were obtained from Excerpta Medica Database(EMBASE),PubMed,Cochrane Library,Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database(Wanfang),China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),China Biology Medicine Disc(CBM),and Chongqing VIP Database(CQVIP)from inception to December 10th,2022.RevMan 5.4.1 was used to perform the meta-analysis.The Cochrane tool was used to assess the risk of bias.Mean difference(MD)and confidence interval(CI)were used for statistical descriptions. Results:A total of 7 studies were included in the meta-analysis.The meta-analysis found that the EA group had a shorter time to the first flatus[P<0.001,MD=-5.32,95%CI(-6.42,-4.21)],bowel movement recovery[P<0.001,MD=-6.22,95%CI(-8.11,-4.34)],and the first defecation(P<0.001,MD=-11.08,95%CI(-15.78,-6.39)]than the control group. Conclusion:EA treatments can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function after LC.
